What’s so wrong with Netflix’s Purple Hearts?
If occasionally enjoying a sappy romcom is wrong, I don't want to be right. That's why I was thrilled when my boyfriend agreed to watch Netflix's Purple Hearts with me last week. (In exchange, I avoided side-eyeing how many bourbons he had throughout the ordeal.) The premise of the movie, without giving too much away, is that Cassie wants to wed a Marine so that she can take advantage of spousal healthcare benefits. Cassie was recently diagnosed with diabetes, you see, and cannot afford her insulin. Meanwhile Luke, the enigmatic Marine, has his own reasons for agreeing to a fake marriage. Like most films in the genre, Purple Hearts requires you to suspend disbelief quite a bit.
