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.
Iris and Sandra's relationship is in a rut. Sandra is a successful interior architect who's hardly ever home and Iris is a florist with a romantic nature and plenty of time on her hands. If they don't spice thing up fast, their 8-year relationship may be doomed. So, what better way to breathe life back into it than by having a baby? While Sandra has her doubts, Iris goes ahead and looks for a sperm donor. When an irresistable Spaniard, Antonio, finds himself in her flowershop one day, she knows she's found the perfect man for the job. The only problem is Sandra and Antonio work together and, unbeknownst to Iris, things are starting to get a little steamy between the two of them. Sandra becomes pregnant and soon enough life really begins to get tangled.
