Alicia I love this movie so much

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Smoreni Zmaj If you like romantic comedies, this almost certainly has been on your repertoire. If not, immediately correct this omission. If you don't like them, see this one and you'll change your mind. I don't know if I ever laughed so hard as when I first watched this movie.Seth, young, successful and rich, enters a passionate affair with the beautiful and fiery Chelsea, not knowing that from the first moment her goal was marriage. In the first part of the movie she tries in all possible ways to make him propose, and when she realizes it might never happen she goes for hell of revenge. From the technical point of view, this film has nothing worth the attention, but the scenario is intelligent, witty and full of (un)expected twists, and French Stewart and Bridgette Wilson are perfect in their role of love-hate couple. To me, this is one of top 10 (un)romantic comedies of all time.9/10

aimless-46 "Love Stinks" is a generally unfunny comedy that will leave you wondering why anyone financed something that promised so little and delivered about what you would have expected from a simple-minded script and an unimpressive cast. Fans of French Stewart ("3rd Rock From the Sun") will at least be entertained by his many one-liners. Unfortunately they are the only elements that work in this ill-advised movie. Like a lot of this mid-budget stuff, "Love Stinks" places its characters in ultra upscale surroundings and shows them living posh life styles; trying to fool viewers into believing it is a high-end production. But few moviegoers come from the richest portion of the 20- something demographic. Those living a less than swank lifestyle found viewer identification difficult; so the movie was quickly pulled from its theatrical distribution. Almost everyone else will have difficulty connecting with the film, which is basically the story of Seth's (Stewart) efforts to escape the grasp of the beautiful Chelsea, his materialistic and totally controlling interior decorator. Like this is a continuing problem for all of us! Chelsea is played by former beauty queen Bridgette Wilson ("I Know What You Did Last Summer"). Wilson is a better actress than she is given credit for people tend to dismiss her because of her non-acting background, and she is well suited to this type of bad girl role. But the script gives her no opportunity to add dimension to this character. At least most of us have seen this sort of mega-manipulative blonde at work. Desperate to marry, Chelsea gets the rich Seth in her sights, pressures him into a quick commitment, moves in and alters his priorities, then makes his life hell when he postpones the marriage. Most of this is told in an extended flashback, necessary for no reason other than to pad the running length so the movie will qualify as a feature. Of course Wilson and Stewart's acting gets a boost by relative comparison to the barely competent performances of the supporting cast, which includes talent challenged Tyra Banks and Tiffany Amber Thiesen. Steve Hytner (Kenny Bania from "Seinfeld") also appears but adds little to the comic quality of the film. "Love Stinks" was written and directed by the guy who is blamed for creating "Full House" and "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper". Ultimately, all you are left with are Stewart's occasional one-liners and Wilson's beauty. These are not enough to carry a whole feature film but are at least something for which to be thankful if you should be forced to actually view the entire film. Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.

croftparalegal If you have a warped sense of humor, this is a hilarious movie. If you are as warped as me, you will watch it over and over again. Comparably funny movies are Super Troopers and American Pie. This is not a movie for the stuck up or conservative types. For all others, It is a definite must see. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who wants a good laugh. I would also highly recommend it to anyone in search of excellent revenge techniques. The actors play their parts very well and are quite entertaining. They could not have chosen better actors for the roles in this movie. Watch it and let me know what you thought.

GransHome This clever, dysfunctional, vengeful, romantic comedy is as fresh as it was when originally released in 1999. Although "Love Stinks" can easily be written off as just another Romantic Satyr by many, the story is actually a very intricate dance between the 2 main characters and the lengths they will pursue to surmount any obstacles in the way of their goals. I was not a fan of French Stewart or Bridgette Wilson before seeing "Love Stinks" but French Stewart and Bridgette Wilson are brilliantly matched in this obsessive comedy. I think most will agree that Bridgette is a beautiful, sexy woman. I had difficulty imagining French opposite her as a love interest but, surprisingly, French is perfect. I found myself repeatedly asking if this is really French Stewart because French Stewart just is not this sexy. Skillfully directed and written by Jeff Franklin that one wonders if this chronicles a personal experience. Definitely a must see if you love good, perverted romantic comedy with a twist.
