Charlotte Ayanna is a sweet college girl who gets conned into the titular fun of Love the Hard Way (2001)--thanks to Adrien Brody as a grifting lowlife who wins over the gullible young thing. This romance includes some strange and sexy twists, especially when her lover’s bad influence leads to Charlotte working as a prostitute. At least this also gives us a glimpse of Pam Grier as a tough cop. There’s also some hard humping between the two leads where nobody’s got anything up their sleeves--or, in the case of Charlotte, anything on her chest!
