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.
Forty-one-year-old Erwin still lives with his mother. He and Mama have fallen into a classic scenario of co-dependence. She feeds him and tolerates his quirks, while he gives her a reason to live. Together, they run a small gas station in the middle of nowhere. Erwin has his mother and his passion for fish, but clearly there is something missing. And so off to Romania he goes to find himself a wife. When Erwin returns home with his bride-to-be, his mother is not impressed.
