"And this is based on your life, right?" Lawrence took a dig at the director of the film, Gene Stupnitsky, during the promotional event and he retorted, "No, it's actually based off a Craigslist ad." "But you were a virgin for, like, a crazy long time. You were 26?" Lawrence joked yet again. The filmmaker sighed before rolling an extended clip from the trailer. "Jennifer, you're so hilarious. I wrote this part for you," the director said, not knowing what else to say.

The film's promotion played out to a huge crowd at the event and the audience just couldn't control their laughter. Stupnitsky showered praises on Lawrence and called her "a true comedy natural" in the film. The latest movie of Lawrence is about two overprotective parents who hire Lawrence's character to date their introverted 19-year-old son so he doesn't leave for college as a virgin.

The film seems to be as hilarious as the trailer itself and so far Lawrence has been doing a good job at the promotional works. Lawrence's character in the film is called Maddie who is an Uber driver forced to resort to desperate measures after her car is repossessed. She stumbles upon an unusual Craigslist posting, where her new employers are the wealthy parents of an academically gifted but socially clueless teenage boy named Percy who is not really interested in human interactions.

Along with Stupnitsky's film, which is set to release in theaters on June 23, 2023, a bunch of other much-anticipated films got to see the daylight. Films like Dumb Money, Aaron Taylor-Johnson starrer Marvel antihero film Kraven the Hunter, Bad Boys 4, Wonka, Dune 2, and many more films were showcased at CinemaCon. We will eagerly look forward to watching Lawrence return to the comedy genre as she continues to stir laughter from the audience in real life as well.
