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.
Frode can't wait for the big summer party at his apartment building. Most of all, because this year's party offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to ride a real live elephant. Then, in a stunning reversal, the stickler superintendent informs them there is a fee for party use of the yard, and Frode's dream of riding an elephant vanishes before his eyes. Meanwhile, poor Mr. Storm downstairs is plagued by a string of mysterious burglaries and offers a reward to whoever catches the culprit. Frode and his friends jump to the challenge: nab the burglar, trick the super to get their summer party back and outwit their rivals, the dirty rotten basement gang, who are desperate for the reward and will stop at nothing to get it.
