That would be Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence, who is apparently hard up for money these days. Seriously, that can be the only logical explanation for at this point in one&#8217;s career making a raunchy sex comedy. This is the movie you make when you&#8217;re young, then later do the take-me-seriously-as-an-actor bit. I&#8217;m trying to figure out in the cast and crew who&#8217;s dating whom and who is somebody&#8217;s nephew or who owes who a favor or\u00a0<em>any<\/em> plausible explanation for this movie being made.<\/p>\n<p>Funny thing is, if it weren&#8217;t Jennifer Lawrence and just some random hot chick I&#8217;d think it was hilarious.
