Love Hard
An LA girl, unlucky in love, falls for an East Coast guy on a dating app and decides to surprise him for Christmas, only to discover that she's been catfished. But the object of her affection actually lives in the same town, and the guy who duped her offers to set them up if she pretends to be his own girlfriend for the holidays. From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →Happy Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate! And if you watch a holiday movie, make it Love Hard, just for the hilarious parody of Baby It's Cold Outside. But also for its interesting analysis of online relationships and a POC as a male lead! I also liked The Holiday Calendar. ❤️🎄
positive · AI labelView post →Love Hard (2021) is one of my favorite rom coms that happens to be a Christmas movie.
positive · AI labelView post →#NotAloneTalk Christmas movie recommendations? I recently watched "Love Hard" which is a romantic comedy and (apart from one allergic-reaction-physical-comedy bit that feels like it wondered in from American Pie world) is very sweet and wholesome.
positive · AI labelView post →Love Hard: a rewatch, but dare I say my favorite holiday romcom…? I may be biased (I watched this movie the first time with my Filipino dad, who triumphantly yelled “the Asian guy!!” when Jimmy Yang got the girl at the end.) Personal bias aside, this movie is objectively good & funny. Rating: 10/10
positive · AI labelView post →Anyway annual rewatch of Love Hard because this movie is so funny lmao
positive · AI labelView post →Last night/this morning’s Christmas movie: Love Hard (2021). It’s as good as it was the first time—10/10. We need more of these in the genre and less of the corny Halmarkesque crap.
positive · AI labelView post →Lincoln Lawyer, The Diplomat, Shrinking. The Christmas movie I rewatch every year is Love Hard.
positive · AI labelView post →Dec 5: Love Hard Who knew a movie about a double catfish could pack in so much holiday spirit?
positive · AI labelView post →Okay I'm saving most of my favourite xmas movies for closer to the date (I will throw one or two in earlier like I did with The Night Before). Also trying to watch more I've never seen. Starting Love Hard now. And yes Die Hard is a xmas movie (they talking this)! #MarshaXmasMovieWatch
neutral · AI labelView post →The Mistletones is my favorite movie of all time, I love it a gross amount I also watch The 12 Dates of Christmas (with Zack Morris!) every year and Love Hard is a recent favorite I’ve watched several times And The Spirit of Christmas has the hot ghost!

neutral · AI labelView post →My favorite Christmas movie released in 2021. Love Hard. Funny and adorable tale of catfishing at Christmas and still finding true love. I was pulling for Josh the whole time. What's yours? 2/4 #FilmSky #MovieSky #ChristmasMovies #lovehard
positive · AI labelView post →Love Hard is one of my favorite Christmas movies. It's about a guy whose favorite holiday movie is Love Actually, and a girl whose favorite holiday movie is Die Hard.
positive · AI labelView post →Yeah, we don’t let transphobes and other bigots off. But disliking or liking Love Actually is just a single personality point. (That said, I thought the Love Hard movie made that discourse work. Especially with “Say it’s the Mormons.”)
neutral · AI labelView post →Thank you, Jen 💟 For sharing this lovely story For caring for your Dad in such a way that he was able to become once again the man that you all knew & loved The film is excellent I am happy for your family that you were the impetus for Frank's re-awakening Stay Strong, Love Hard & Never Give Up 🤙🏼
neutral · AI labelView post →Today has been Miracle on 34th Street (Natalie Wood version), a Christmas episode of Heartstopper and the wildly problematic Christmas catfish movie Love Hard.
negative · AI labelView post →I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Love Hard is a great Christmas movie. Jimmy O. Yang is national treasure.
positive · AI labelView post →Watching Tracy and Hepburn in KEEPER OF THE FLAME and WITHOUT LOVE. Hard to decide which is lamer. KotF has a nice Antifa slant but she's amateurish and the film is just absurd. W/OL is a dumb comedy where the supporting cast gets the only laughs, and the score keeps telling you how cute it all is.
neutral · AI labelView post →LOVE HARD (2021) - Another Netflix Christmas film. It's ok #ThomFilms25
neutral · AI labelView post →Today is Christmas Movie Marathon day. If you're kicking back with some hot chocolate or egg nog, here are some suggestions for some non-traditional Christmas Films. If you do want a Christmas film, I recommend Love Hard on Netflix.
positive · AI labelView post →1: Die Hard is a Christmas movie 2: Love Hard is A Die Hard movie
neutral · AI labelView post →(Love Hard is a movie abt a guy and a girl who match online and love talking to each other and his fav movie is Love Actually and hers is Die Hard…but whoops, he isn’t who she thought he was. youtu.be/3boMRfx6cjE?... )
neutral · AI labelView post →Love Hard was so good! New watch for #romcombracket. This movie really stares Sleepless in Seattle down the barrel with love and the right amount of judgment. Incredible family unit, catfish trope I hate done so well that I made an exception, the dialog! The back and forth of the leads is excellent👌
positive · AI labelView post →He seemed like he was in a script-straitjacket in the first act of Love Hard, I couldn't stand to watch a b-movie do that to him, but I may give it another shot... next Christmas!

Best. Movie. Ever. LOVE HARD. A solidly good movie every year. DASH AND LILY. Not a movie but still a great watch. 1/4

unlabelledView post →Love Hard lives at the nexus of all things Christmas movie classic: snowy scenes, quiet cozy town, vulnerability and heart, sincere humor, visual humor, the elderly, warm family scenes, exposed wood beams, winter apparel, and realizations through tough situations bringing people closer together.
unlabelledView post →I've never laughed so loudly, and on my own. It's not a family Christmas movie! Also loved Love Hard which is a family Christmas movie, the documentary gag is so funny though easily missed!
unlabelledView post →Movie 37. Love Hard. She writes a dating column and flies across the country to get catfished, then tries to pull the actual bloke in the photos by pretending to be someone else at Christmas. For an article. One of my Christmas favourites ☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️/5
unlabelledView post →Love Hard is a REALLY GOOD Christmas film. It might even be the greatest Christmas film since Die Hard. Or Office Christmas Party, which I fucking loved. Anyway, watch it, it’s on Netflix.
unlabelledView post →Movie 2: Love Hard I love this movie so much ❤️
unlabelledView post →If you think about it, the logical conclusion of Hot Frosty is that anyone could sculpt a snow person they wanna bang and have them come to life using a magic scarf and/or a sad backstory. It's now #2 on my Christmas movie list, sitting at a comfortable distance from Love Hard.
unlabelledView post →Oh! We love the movie Love Hard, the Princess switch Trilogy, and The Knight Before. I think Love hard is our favorite but we watch the Knight before every year. We also liked happiest season on hulu but only because kristen stewart and Aubrey plaza were so insanely hot in it

unlabelledView post →Love Hard captures the messy beauty of modern romance — where screens connect hearts as easily as they disguise lies. Natalie, a hopeful writer tired of failed relationships, believes she’s finally found “the one” in Josh, only to discover she’s been catfished. What begins as deception slowly transforms into an unexpected journey of honesty and vulnerability. Despite its lighthearted tone and festive charm, the film gently reminds us that love isn’t about perfection or appearances, but the…
