It's a take on the classic Cyrano story, but instead of a big ugly nose deformity our hero is too Chinese. Kind of creepy and racist once you see it.

The critics got this one wrong! Througly enjoyable.

Es una película divertida, entretenida y las actuaciones de Nina Dobrev y Jimmy O. Yang son excelentes; es muy recomendable y se puede disfrutar en Netflix.

I would've enjoyed this movie in my teenage years. When l didn't mind cheesy, easily predictable, cringy movies.And if you're going to take a dig at 'The Notebook' at least make your storyline and plot better.

The Notebook was made in 2004 and is still better than this movie, in my opinion. Otherwise, it's not bad. Pretty average or below average.… Expand

I watched Love Hard on January 2 while having a pretty bad day after enjoying some magic salad. Visually this movie is fine - the shot selection, composition, lighting - it's all adequate. The performances are good enough to keep yourI watched Love Hard on January 2 while having a pretty bad day after enjoying some magic salad. Visually this movie is fine - the shot selection, composition, lighting - it's all adequate. The performances are good enough to keep your attention and Harry Shum Jr. playing the more successful narcissistic younger brother was a standout for me. The screenplay itself, though, is terrible. It has literally every cliche you could imagine, the jokes rarely land, the characters are meh and I'm not sure there is a single original idea in this film. There's also a lot of voice lines that were clearly added awkwardly in post to fix plot holes or make plot points more obvious. The abysmal screenplay combined with the fact that the references that felt targeted at me specifically and the fact the soundtrack seemed like it was stolen from my playlist was honestly kind of alienating. It felt like watching an algorithmically generated movie targeted at me specifically. Or at least nerdy, non-white males born between 1990 and 1999 that like Die Hard and used to listen to Wolfmother.

The terrible screenplay and oddly personal references sprinkled throughout this combined with my emotional state made Love Hard fill me with an almost eldritch horror. This movie was transcendentally bad. The effects of the magic salad and terribleness of the screenplay short circuited my brain and made for a trippier experience than Enter the Void. The experience of watching it was akin to the DMT fueled hallucinations I expect to experience as I shuffle off this mortal coil. Some movies feel like watching a car crash. Love Hard felt like being in a car crash - time slowed and every detail seemed hyper real. I have not seen the face of God but I can only assume the experience is akin to what I went through. Annoyingly, despite all its phoniness this movie still managed to elicit an emotional response from me, but it was completely unearned. Love Hard is like emotional McDonalds. It makes your brain produce all the chemicals that eating delicious food does but part of you will always know that it's actually slowly poisoning you. I don't regret watching this, but that has more to do with the fact that this movie was so bad it made me experience ego death, and I suspect most people that watch this movie won't have that experience. As a movie, I give love hard a 3/10, as a trigger for unlocking new planes of consciousness I did not previously know existed it gets a 9/10.… Expand

It is fat cheesy and greasy like a lasagna in a Christmas dinner served every year since your 1st birthday but still hits the spot every single time. Dobrev's and Yang's chemistry may not be easily be seen at first as we are more accustomedIt is fat cheesy and greasy like a lasagna in a Christmas dinner served every year since your 1st birthday but still hits the spot every single time. Dobrev's and Yang's chemistry may not be easily be seen at first as we are more accustomed to the Tom Cruise "white man" type of leading men but it sure does grow on you as the movie progresses.… Expand

It's a lovely movie but it really makes you think back about your own marriage or relationship. I cannot bear my cheating husband anymore. I should do what I want to do. Love the theme. Hate liars!

It’s a fun-filled comedy movie.The best part of the movie is the ending and also an Asian guy playing the lead role in a mainstream movie. I am so happy to see such kind of changes and improvement in the society.
