Film.com's FREE movie of the week is "Love the Hard Way." Oscar-winner Adrien Brody and Charlotte Ayanna star in this drama about a thief who falls for a curious, beautiful young woman. As their intimacy grows, a slick cop (Pam Greer) is closing in.
One morning Valerie reveals to her boyfriend, Remi, that she is pregnant. Neither Valerie nor Remi knows what this dramatic change within her is to mean for them as a couple. Over the course of the day, which is Valerie's first day working in Room Service at a Four Star Hotel, she meditates on the paths of human nature she crosses, sometimes comic, sometimes hostile, which lead her to decipher what is to be her decision about her future. Later, Valerie meets Remi, knowing that she wants to raise the child alone, without him.
