Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

mariass-206-249313 I FOUND IT ALL OVER THE INTERNET and got nothing... Can anyone tell me where to get the subtitle??? I love this movie. thanks.

conniesprinkles I am 51 and have never wanted to see a follow up movie until "Love The Hard Way". It was not until the 2nd viewing that I noticed how Brody's acting was so delicate. When he first waits for her at the dock or pier, you see the insecurity in his eyes. I noticed many other things that I found excellent, and I was irritated that I did not get a "real ending". I saw that he really wanted her as "his girl", and I loved the mental breakdown in the bathroom of the bar. To my way of thinking this story is "more real" than many people realize, or have experienced. Also, the way A. Brody's tone of voice changed when he was humbled at thinking he lost her to the lifestyle he did not like, but, was compelled to "act out" the childhood nightmare he came from, and secretly wanted to have a stable life. I'd like to see Brody and C. Ayanna do a sequel, and see where life goes in a healthy relationship. It could be set up in flashback, maybe some narration and the sequel would be an interesting continuation that I feel many would enjoy. I don't think I'm extra smart, but, when it comes to acting I'm pretty good. So....Would you consider doing "Love The Hard Way" 2? There are so many different ways to continue this movie. Thanks for listening. This movie left me hanging, and I want more! Hope I have no typos.

styx0r This movie is not a high dollar production. It doesn't need to be. This movie is emotional, intellectual, heart-wrenching and sadly beautiful. I experienced a similar overall feeling from watching "Gia" - a movie about supermodels and the pitfalls of modeling (That happens to be Angelina Jolie's best film - unlike her others, and worth watching.) What Love the Hard Way has, that other films don't, are characters who you really connect with. Not because you share things in common with them, but because they are multi-faceted beings with enough background story to deeply invest the viewer in their fate.This review/comment isn't going like I had planned. I think the IMDb rating of this film is far too low, and I think those people who gave it a low score were either not paying attention, or not allowing themselves to do so.Which isn't surprising, because this film is hard to watch at times. Not because it's dull or poorly constructed, but because you don't want to feel the pain.Watch it. The Ying and Yang are in full blossom here.

daniel-j-doughty I watched the film to it's semi-awful end and I have to say that it just wasn't worth it. I liked the initial characters. I enjoyed the flirtation of the bad boy and the good girl. I even enjoyed the initial back and forth of I love you-Who are you again-I love you. But when we got to the Claire is a bloody whore part of the film I just fell a bit a apart.Not to mention there are glaring holes in the logic of the film. Just because two guys are friends doesn't mean they'll get assigned to the same kitchen in prison. I mean with persuasion and some chance it might happen, but what happened to their dumbass third guy who pimped Claire out the first time? OK, and here is my finally bit of criticism. I, unlike others, have no problem seeing a good student fall from the pedestal. I personally would have expected drugs to be a part of the fall, but no matter the cause I'm not stunned to watch such a fall. I am however, AMAZED, to watch her be a serious scientist 2 years later. And in fact, to be screwing guys without condoms in NYC for several months before her beau was bagged? All I can say is AIDS AIDS AIDS. When they fast-forwarded two years forward I expected him to show up at her funeral plot, not to meet the successful scientist doing well without him.Decent acting. Decent plot. BIG PLOT HOLES.
