Leave your thoughts about Love Hard.
| Screen RantFerdosa AbdiWith dazzling lead performances from Jimmy O. Yang and Nina Dobrev, Love Hard will surely be a Christmas romantic comedy worth revisiting every year. |
| IGNLaura SirikulLove Hard isn’t reinventing the wheel, but Nina Dobrev and Jimmy O. Yang are adorable to watch in this feel-good Christmas rom-com. |
| The GuardianBenjamin LeeAn inoffensive time-filler that’s hard to love but easy to like. |
| VarietyCourtney HowardWith its prevailing sentiments on dating in the digital age feeling more than a decade old, and themes centered on honesty and shallowness ringing hollow, this feature is fairly forgettable. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreIt’s a Hallmark Channel holiday movie on a Netflix budget. The characters are bland, the performances not much better and the writing almost instantly awful — tin-eared, clumsy ESL grammar and usage, the works. |
| The New York TimesConcepción de LeónIn presenting a female character who is attractive, but bereft of substance, the movie subverts its own premise. |
| IndieWireDavid EhrlichLike most of Netflix’s seasonal assembly line of yuletide fare, “Love Hard” is both too well-cast for the Hallmark Channel and too half-assed for movie theaters. It’s likewise adrift between rom-com nostalgia, reckoning with the anxieties of dating in the digital age, and simply hitting enough data points to give the algorithm what it wants for Christmas. |
| RogerEbert.comMonica CastilloSome moments are sweeter than others, but overall, this cookie cutter rom-com has nothing more or less than what its subgenre demands. |
| User Reviewbleik2456Incrível a direção do diretor costarriquenho Hernan Jimenez, mais uma vez se demonstra o incrível talento da Costa Rica, o melhor país do mundo Saudações de Sao Ramon, Alajuela |
