This is Love the Dull Way.

Sehr accurately captures new love -- at its mildest distracting, at its harshest destructive.
04/10/03
[The story] is often overly simplistic when it is trying hardest for emotional complexity.
06/19/03
Brody's performance as Jack is about as good as that which won him the Oscar for The Pianist.
06/20/03
Brody has offbeat charisma, but it's no match for the corny dialogue he's given here, not to mention the Wild at Heart snakeskin jacket he wears.
07/10/03
To say the love story was hard to believe, is putting it mildly--it was impossible to fathom.

No review available.

The film's premise -- that the savvy student played by Charlotte Ayanna would get involved with this creep -- is a stretch at best.
06/06/03
A movie that can't make up its mind if it wants to be urban poetry or a silly soap opera.
06/13/03
Any woman who wants to change her man will find out how.
05/29/03
The pair have little chemistry: Ayanna is a lovely girl with a sweet smile and a fine pout, but she simply can’t match the soul shining from Brody's big brown windows.
06/12/03
Desperately overblown 2001 melodrama.
06/06/03
Annoying as it is in some ways, is worth seeing for Brody's performance alone.
06/21/03
Such a volatile presence needs control, and director Peter Sehr doesn't fine-tune either the character or the performance enough to keep it from burning out and self-destructing.
06/20/03
The movie is of the sort that relies exclusively on charm and charisma. Love the Hard Way has neither.
06/05/03
Feels like it was crafted by an outsider, with the cliche-filled dialogue reading like a rough translation.
