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.
At the University of California at Santa Cruz, the most notorious hot spot is the fraternity house nicknamed El Rancho Grande--part cess pool, part party central, part Gen-X commune. Graduation weights heavy on five of the frat boys as they prepare to go their separate ways. One boy, Jack, is unable to shake the gnawing fear that his beloved comrades will never recapture their sybaritic lifestyle. Graduation proves to be as torturous as the Rancho boys feared. An increasingly absurd series of encounters with assorted parents, girlfriends, professors and potential employers exacerbate their fears and force the young men to grapple with adulthood. The ultimate choice for the El Rancho Grande boys is to destroy the last vestige of their college days... the future can wait.
