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.
All schoolgirl Mary Katherine Gallagher wants in life is a kiss. Not just any kiss, mind you--a big time, hold-your-breath-'til-you-think-you're-going-to-faint, bona fide Hollywood-style kiss. But no matter how hard she tries, no one will kiss her. And then it hits her. Mary Katherine realizes the only way she is ever going to get what she wants is to become just like the people she sees getting those kisses in the movies. When Catholic Teen magazine sponsors a talent contest to be an extra in a movie with positive moral values--she sees the opportunity to make her dreams come true. After all, everyone wants to kiss you when you're a SUPERSTAR!
