Critic Reviews for Love Hard
All Critics (27) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (15) | Rotten (12)
I was amused watching the writers try to twist this strange premise into a happy ending.
American rom-coms have become a zombie genre, and brainless streaming content like Love Hard -- from its tech-driven narrative, nostalgic plotting, and tossed-off production -- epitomizes why they refuse to die or be reborn.
Opposites attract, always and forever... and yet the screenwriters never bother to develop a plausible path for the destined couple to find its way to each other.
The ensuing shenanigans not only do our heroine a massive disservice by letting men manipulate her agency - they also cause us to question what exactly we're rooting for.
This cookie cutter rom-com has nothing more or less than what its subgenre demands.
As micro-budgeted Canadian-shot yet American-set Christmas romantic comedies go, Love Hard is more tolerable than most and, in Netflix's dank grotto of subterranean expectations, that will do for now.
