Love the Hard Way (2001)

Love this movie? Buy the DVD so you see Brody all the time

[10/10 · 22 January 2005]

I first saw Love the Hard Way on cable and absolutely loved it, probably because it kinda resembled my relationship with my ex boyfriend. I did not do anything that Claire did, but my ex, was very much like Jack, with sleeping with other girls and lying, but yet was in love with me. My ex did change over time like Jack did, but he only did it by my threatening to leave him. If Claire would have threatened to leave him, I think it would have affected him but not as much as other people. I never changed myself to make my ex love me because I thought there was something wrong with me. Claire did that but only because every one of Jack's friends told her she doesn't belong in that life. After watching the DVD features, which I suggest any fan of this film to do, the ending that I had hoped for... the walk didn't end at the lab... was true. There is a deleted scene of them visiting Charlie in jail, and also there's a commentary on the making of the movie. It's very useful and it makes people who know that Jack changed for Claire and had hope for the two to be together, learn that they ended up together. There was too much of a bond to let that go between them. I praise the director/writer for his work on this movie.
