Love Hard (2021)
Als Natalie (Nina Dobrev) den Mann ihrer Träume auf einer Dating-App kennenlernt, beschließt sie kurzerhand, ihn über die Weihnachtsfeiertage zu besuchen. In der Hoffnung, ein wahres Weihnachtswunder zu erleben, macht sich Natalie auf den Weg. Anstatt ihn zu überraschen, wird die allerdings überrascht – und zwar unangenehm: Josh (Jimmy O. Yang), den sie vor Ort trifft, ist ein schamloser Betrüger, der sich online als ein anderer ausgegeben hat. Natalie muss eingestehen, dass sie auf sein Fake-Profil hereingefallen ist. Der gut aussehende Typ von seinen Profilfotos, Tag (Darren Barnet), lebt allerdings auch in der Stadt, nur wenige Straßen weiter – und der charmante Lügenbold verspricht seiner verärgerten Angebeteten, die beiden zu verkuppeln. Einzige Bedingung: Sie soll sich über die Feiertage als seine Freundin ausgeben...
