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.
It's the summer of 1984, you're seventeen, you live in Mid-West, and you're pretty sure that you're gay--it's the story of Eric, a musically-gifted and charming soon-to-be high school senior, who gets a little lost on his post-pubescent exploration of sexuality. While flipping burgers with his best friend Maggie at the local amusement park restaurant, Eric meets a host of summer-jobbing buddies including his first potential beau. He becomes involved with Rod and is introduced to the local gay bar, but meanwhile Maggie has fallen for him.
