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.
Justine is a 17-year-old virgin eager to lose her virginity to high school stud Alex. When her nerdy friend Chas drags her to a virtual reality computer exhibition, Justine comes across Narcissus -- a computerized makeover machine. While playfully creating her ideal self onscreen, Justine decides that it may be more productive to invent the ideal man for herself. But before she gets a chance to complete him, the exhibit's power supply short circuits, Narcissus blows up, and, out of the ruins, emerges a blonde male hunk with a personality that Justine instantly falls in love with -- her own.
