Not a bad rom com, but has a side of woke
We love a good rom com. Love Hard delivers well in this category! The story was engaging, the acting was done well, there were some good laughs throughout with some genuine tender moments between the main characters that made the progression of their relationship believable.
My only gripe is that the main character was pretty woke herself.. examples included trashing "baby it's cold outside" which is a classic #metoo stance. Others revolved around hating "toxic masculinity." The alternate love interest who was "hot" was into all the toxic "man stuff" that she found repulsive. Eating meat, rock climbing, hunting.. She was compromising her woke pedestal to settle for the hot guy with no "character" and needed to realize she should be with the more sensitive, less masculine guy.
It wasn't enough to spoil the film because it wasn't presented in a preachy way, more like she just realized she shouldn't compromise who she is to be with the wrong person.
Overall, I'm giving it a 4/5, because it was an enjoyable movie that kept me interested and engaged
In wokeness, it gets a 2/5 for all the "baby it's cold outside" hate.
