"Love the Hard Way" tells of a penny ante crook who writes by day and runs an extortion scam by night (Brody) who falls in love with a college student (Ayanna). This meager premise is played out in all its meagerness by rote. She loathes herself for loving a crook and he loathes himself for being the crook that she loves, etc...blaa, blaa. This flick is doomed from the get go because he's a scumbag and she's a moron for giving him a tumble making it difficult to care for either of the pair of protags. In addition the film suffers from obvious low budgetness and, on the DVD I watched, it has projectionist signals, mediocre video quality, and no CC's or subtitles. A passable, forgettable loser. (C)
