In spite of their many differences, struggling singer-songwriter Cassie (Sofia Carson) and Luke (Nicholas Galitzine), a marine with a troubled past, agree to marriage solely for the military benefits. When tragedy strikes, the line between what's real and what's pretend begins to blur in this romantic drama.

Critics Consensus

Pretty stars aren't enough to make up for Purple Hearts' stereotype-riddled script and misguided approach to serious themes.

Audience Says

Purple Hearts' story will be problematic for a lot of viewers; fortunately, Sofia Carson and Nicholas Galitzine work hard to keep things from falling apart.

The entire script is a bingo card full of politicized stereotypes.

Luke Y. Thompson

AV Club

...both Carson and Galitzine are beautiful people—presumably one of the film’s primary draws—but their love scenes convey neither heat nor emotional substance, and consequently aren’t much fun to watch.

This super-cheap Netflix Original is so determined to satisfy the algorithm that it would lack any coherent sense of self if not for the fact that it was chiefly designed as a star vehicle for Disney Channel grad Sofia Carson.

Attempting to straddle many different cliches, Purple Hearts quickly loses its footing and only a soulless adaptation is left standing.

Everything about the movie is a little too on the nose, and Netflix seems more than happy to release insipid content that panders to the lowest common denominator.

Sophia Carson and Nick Galitzine come out of nowhere to win audiences over in this touching film directed with a careful touch by Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum.

I enjoyed the movie. Nicholas Galitzone did another great job; very talented actor, loving everything he does.

I enjoyed this movie and will definitely watch it again. It was worth every bit of my time even though I think that the ending was a bit rushed, which in my opinion, is okay. The movie explains how two people fall in love from pretending to be in love. I love the main characters, Sofia Carson and Nicholas Gitzaline. I think that they really did a great job. Moreover, Cassie's song "Come back home" was really emotional. It definitely raised the hopes of the soldiers. I love it.

Yeah sorry, just all around lame. I thought Luke’s character was good and Nick did a good job. But Cassie just annoying and overacted.

A nice intention, but the end is just plain stupid, why the army believes a drug dealer and not a comdecorated marine, that almost ruins the whole movie, stupid I tell you.

I'm a romcom fan, and this did not disappoint. The story line had so much going for it. Everything was believable, the acting, the story, the twist and turns in the underlining plot. I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. It has every emotion mixed in there. I just wish the ending had more to their life together (spoiler alert) after he was released. We got to see them fall in love but I wanted to see more of them in love. If you want a rollercoaster of a movie that just hit you with the feels then I highly recommend this one.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
