Haven't watched it yet. I'm just surprised Netflix produced to show with a heterosexual couple. I thought they didn't believe in male female relationships anymore

Purple Hearts certainly is a movie. And I have thoughts. Very unstructured thoughts, so I apologize. The movie is relatively comoetent acted I give it that. The leads don't have much chemistry though. It is also way too long for its own good and tries to cram way too many issues in instead of focusing one and doing it right. The initial idea of making the whole scam about Cassie's diabetes and actually addressing the healthcare issue America is was interesting and should have been the main focus here, but no it also had to be about drug money. And sadly that tired cliche turned out to be a bigger issue than the actual interesting social commentary. Then there's the issue about the war and military. The film tries some half-assed "war bad" commentary (in the most shallow way possible) before making a basic 180 and being more "yay 'Murica" as it goes on. Again, why not focus on the fucked up healthcare system that literally makes it impossible for people to get life saving medicine? Who knows. I didn't know Nicholas Galitzine before and he was fine, if a little bit stiff but his character didn't offer much to go for anyways. Then there's Sofia Carson, whom I enjoyed in other movies, but she was stuck with such an irritating character that even her charme did not work. And look, I know she can sing but girl, why choose this breathy style and swallow up most of the words? I'm sorry to say it, but I didn't enjoy one of the music performances in the film and it was si silly how she got literally everything she wanted without facing any consequences. Now, here's the deal. Cassie had a valid reason for her scam, she literally needed it to survive but this should've been addressed in the court scene, not just Luke being the martyr and going to jail while she got a record deal. Also, did they really have to kill off the most likeable character in the film for no reason? So yeah ... didn't really like it.

This romantic movie has a unique premise but as it falls prey to genre cliches, it fails to deliver something new.

In case you don’t think I’m a romantic (maybe based on my disdain for Hallmark cookie cutter romances), I want to set the record straight. I love love. Let me settle into a good drama with romance and I’m a happy camper. On the recommendation of a friend I settled into this one tonight and I liked it. It was very easy to fall in love with Sofia Carson and Nicholas Galitzine’s characters. As inevitable as the plot was, it was nice to watch it play out despite the roadblocks they put in their own way. For a cozy night in this is a nice watch. I give this film a 7 (nice) out of 10.

Literal millitary propaganda - don’t watch this it’s so bad and only trending cause it has booktok tropes. The story is literally a white conservative man and a poc liberal women fall in love and she ends up being conservative at the end despite his racism towards her family
