Purple Hearts

“Purple Hearts” follows the story of Cassie, played by “Descendants” actress Sofia Carson, an aspiring singer working several jobs just to stay alive and support her dreams. Newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes just six months ago, she struggles to ...

I found the diabetes elements to be more realistic than some elements of the love story, which is really, really saying something. Type 1 diabetes is integral to the “Purple Hearts” story. No two people live with diabetes in the same way. This scene was a fantastic way to educate and spread awareness of the financial burdens of type 1 diabetes. Many people with chronic illness in the U.S. choose to pursue traditional full-time jobs due to the pressure of securing health insurance benefits, but it’s not the only way people with diabetes choose to live or should have to live. “Purple Hearts” shows this career dilemma that many people with diabetes face. Every single integration of type 1 diabetes was effective. Cassie lives up to that summarization and then some. Despite explaining how dangerous it is for her to go without her insulin for that long, there’s nothing the pharmacist can do. “Purple Hearts” follows the story of Cassie, played by “Descendants” actress Sofia Carson, an aspiring singer working several jobs just to stay alive and support her dreams. When her childhood friend and current Marine, Frankie, rejects her proposal for marriage to receive these benefits, she finds an uncommon partner in Luke—also a Marine, but someone she detests. Situations like this happen to people with all types of diabetes way too often.

Disney Channel alum and pop star Sofia Carson proves her talent in an overwrought Netflix romance about a military marriage of convenience.

Director Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum (“Aquamarine”) has a proven knack for pushing YA audiences into unexpected places, but her clumsy handling of this film’s soapier excesses is made all the more frustrating because of the easy spark she’s able to create between Luke and Cassie. These kids may not be Bogie and Bacall, but there’s a stronger fizz to their screen chemistry than you would expect from a glorified commercial for Carson’s talent — largely because Carson is such a spiky, electric presence. Before they crush “Purple Hearts” to death under the weight of their own contrivances, the overwrought subplots that pump attention away from the love story at the center of the film are justified by the script’s need to support Cassie’s music (Carson herself is one of the credited writers, alongside Liz W. Garcia and Kyle Jarrow). Both Luke and Cassie want to live in a country that will let them enjoy that. Second-generation immigrant Cassie Salazar (Carson) is a spunky waitress at a SoCal bar where she leads her band in pop-punk covers of “Sweet Caroline” and Portgual, the Man’s “Feel It Still” and imagines becoming the next Olivia Rodrigo while serving drinks to handsy soldiers from the local military base. No, we need tragic deaths, an IED explosion, home invasions, severe daddy issues, a drug shakedown in a parking garage, one seriously challenging set of stairs, and a host of other impediments that distract from the core romance. Side effects may include eye-rolling, exhaustion, and an intense desire to google whether “stolen valor” applies to faking a marriage in order to squeeze more cash out of the U.S. military (do not use if allergic to “Purple Hearts”).

Against his attorney’s advice, Luke makes a statement to the court, in which he claims that he tricked Cassie into marrying him, that she didn’t know it was against the law, and takes all of the blame.

So do Cassie and Luke get together in Purple Hearts? If you want to know what you’re getting into ahead of time, read on for Decider’s breakdown of the Purple Hearts plot summary and the Purple Hearts ending, explained.

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.

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.
