'Purple Hearts' Review: A Marriage of Convenience (The New York Times)

Netflix's romantic drama, featuring the Disney-minted star Sofia Carson, follows a Marine and a musician who wed out of financial desperation.

But the music, just like the marriage, rings hollow. Instead, the film wallows in contrived plots and subplots, made worse by the dearth of chemistry between the two leads. “Purple Hearts” had the potential to be a poignant melodrama — or maybe a sharp satire — about the options available to those left behind by the U.S. health care system.

'Purple Hearts' Review: Sofia Carson Fakes Her Way Into True Love ... (Variety)

A young singer's sham marriage to a Marine grows into something deeper in the Nicholas Sparks-esque 'Purple Hearts,' starring Sofia Carson.

She scoffs, but then she succumbs: A spouse, in this watchable but disappointingly old-fashioned wisp of a film, is just a soulmate you haven’t met yet. Politically, meanwhile, “Purple Hearts” stays stringently loyal to all sides, cheering Cassie on in her sporadic right-on rants but also offering a gilded, ennobling portrait of Marine duty — even when heavily telegraphed tragedy strikes in action, and Luke returns to California a broken man. (Neil Diamond purists should consider themselves warned.) Away from the microphone, she’s a sparky enough presence, not heavily taxed by a character, Cassie, whose smattering of tattoos and progressive political credentials — Black Lives Matter and queer-rights flags hang from the balcony of her improbably spacious walk-up apartment in Oceanside — do the bare minimum to distinguish her from the archetypical Nicholas Sparks-style romantic heroine.

Netflix's 'Purple Hearts' is a love story with a wounded premise (Military Times)

That is the premise of Netflix's “Purple Hearts,” which stars Sofia Carson as Cassie Salazar and Nicholas Galitzine as Luke Morrow.

The storyline is thin, and the military premise is cliché, but, frankly, the chemistry between Galitzine and Carson is off the charts. As you can imagine, eventually the Marine Corps finds out about the sham, Luke loses everything, and he has to serve out a prison sentence. She first propositions a lifelong friend-turned-Marine to engage in the fraudulent marriage, but he turns her down because he already has a girlfriend of his own. The movie is based on a novel by Tess Wakefield, and is something of a soap opera-esque take on a military marriage entered into for the benefits. Luke, on the other hand, is an addict in recovery. Get married after three brief conversations the day before he ships off to Iraq and split the money.

'Purple Hearts' Ending, Explained: Do Cassie And Luke Get To Unite ... (Digital Mafia Talkies)

The romantic drama film "Purple Hearts" is your typical opposites-attract kind of tale, starring Sofia Carson as a liberal-minded singer and writer ...

It becomes evident that Johnno was the one who had tipped off the army about this, and similar charges are also brought against Cassie. But since the wife is a civilian, the army would not hold any judgment in her regard and would instead forward the case to the police after they decide their judgment of Luke. However, much to the anguish of his superiors and his family members, Luke decides to speak in court, and he pleads guilty to the charges but says that Cassie had no idea about it or any role to play in it. Right after the end of her performance, she rushes out and drives over to the army camp just before Luke is about to be taken away. Luke’s father understands that his son has actually taken a metaphorical bullet to protect his wife, and he is immensely proud of Luke and even tells him so. But of course, those enjoying “Purple Hearts” would not be here for such narrative progression, and the sweet, sugar-coated illusion of love and life might be enough for some. Luke had gotten himself enlisted in the army to win his father’s respect back, but had never told him about it, and then had realized that he was not doing it for his father but rather for himself and his country. When he returns to Cassie’s apartment, his wife tells him that her mother has once again had an intruder in her house, who now had a bloodied shirt and spoke about Luke. Cassie is terribly surprised that her husband does not ask who this intruder is, meaning that he very well knows who he is and has a severe argument with him. Cassie leaves the house and goes away on a music performance tour with her band, and during this time, she receives a phone call from Luke’s father, who says that Luke has been detained on the charge of fraudulent marriage, based on the intention of getting benefits, and the man now asks Cassie whether it is true. Next, he tells his idea to Cassie herself, saying that he needs money but does not mention what he needs it for, and irrespective of their tremendously many differences, the woman agrees. Despite being angry at Cassie for revealing their marriage to his father, Luke quickly convinces her to keep up with the pretension as his father happens to be an army police officer who would not think twice before pointing out his son’s false marriage if he got to know. Luke now pitches the same plan—that of marrying Cassie—so that he would receive extra money every month with which he would pay off his debt, and Johnno approves. Performing and working at the bar one day, Cassie comes across a group of newly-recruited US Marines, among whom is also the woman’s childhood friend Frankie. As the two catch up, the other young men in the group try to flirt with Cassie and her friend, much to their irritation, as the men are extremely misogynistic. The film tells the story of how these two opposite-minded characters fake a marriage only to receive government aid and then ultimately fall in love after all.
