Editorial Review:
A HILARIOUSLY WARPED ROMANCE THAT'S SURE TO APPEAL TO ANYONE WHO'S BEEN IN A ROCKY RELATIONSHIP. SETH AND HIS NEW GIRLFRIEND CHELSEA, SEEM LIKE THE PERFECT COUPLE, THEY HAVE GREAT SEX AND FUN TIMES. BUT THINGS DON'T MOVE FAST ENOUGH FOR CHELSEA AND SHE AIMS TO TRAP SETH INTO MARRIAGE. SUBTITLES IN FREN., SPAN. & ENG
Description of Love Stinks:
In Love Stinks, Seth (French Stewart from TV's 3rd Rock from the Sun), a sitcom writer-producer, meets Chelsea (Bridgette Wilson, Billy Madison) at his best friend's wedding. He's immediately smitten by her blonde babeness; she's attracted to his income and single status. For the next 45 minutes she tries to get him to commit though a combination of skimpy outfits and wild mood swings. When she finally realizes he's not going to, she turns into a vengeful harpy and tries to make his life hell. This might be funny if you believe that women are manipulative, money hungry, marriage-fixated psychotics--but maybe not. The standard of wit is best expressed in the line, "Drop the probe and step away from my ass," declared by Seth as he's about to receive an unrequested colonic in a spa. It's always wise to be wary of comedies with a comedy writer as the main character, especially when the movie is written and directed by a comedy writer. Writer-director Jeff Franklin previously made two TV movies starring the Olsen Twins; this may have been his attempt to exorcise some relationship gone awry. Love Stinks also features Bill Bellamy (Love Jones, Def Jam's How to Be a Player) and supermodel Tyra Banks. --Bret Fetzer
Love Stinks Reviews:
Great movie! Great service! 
2009-09-18 - This movie is hilarious. It arrived to me quickly and is in great condition.
Loved it!! 
2009-07-25 - I used to have this movie on VHS and watched it very regularly. It's the type of movie that just gets funnier the more you watch it. This relationship was sick from the very beginning and it was pure humor watching it unfold to a brilliant conclusion. Some of the one-liners in this movie are truly unforgettable.
I don't think the critics liked it and I noticed the few poor reviews here on Amazon. Based on their own reviews, it appears these people were looking for something in this movie that it was never meant to be.
It's over-the-top humor. It's not meant to be realistic, just funny. Sometimes you sit down to watch a movie and suspend reality for the sake of just laughing and having a good time. Everything is not meant to be analyzed and applied. This is pure entertainment, nothing more. So if you are the serious type that resists spending time doing or watching things that don't have real meaning or purpose, don't even go here. This movie requires surrender and a love of the absurd.
Mood picker-upper
2009-02-07 - I saw this movie based on a recommendation from a friend. And I recommend it to you. It a light-hearted movie of the scheming ways and lengths a woman goes for marriage. It surely picks up my mood when I've had a bad day.
"Love Stinks" ending is the BEST
2009-01-31 - I really enjoyed "Love Stinks,"but the ending is FANTASTIC.I never even heard of this film,and just happened to click onto it this morning.I'm going to have to watch it again,but wait untill you see the ending,the BEST I've ever seen in a movie.
Christmas Gift
2009-01-09 - This was a Christmas gift for my dad. It was his favorite movie. He was so excited when he opened this gift. It's a cute movie...very funny.
