Powerful

How sad is this?

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This movie came out when I was in junior high, and to this day it still cracks me up whenever I watch it. I've watched the movie more times than I can count over the years and it never gets old.Chelsea & Seth, played by Bridgette Wilson & French Stewart, are introduced by their mutual friends who are getting married, and everything seems perfect at first. Their chemistry is just the right mix of cute & funny. Then as the movie progresses and they get closer as a couple, Chelsea's true colors start to show more & more. She wants desperately to lock Seth down & get him to marry her, but he's not big on commitment. When Chelsea expresses how badly she wants to marry Seth, they agree not to discuss marriage for another year & just date & see how they feel as a couple.A year later on Valentine's Day, Seth doesn't propose, and asa result Chelsea has a total psychotic meltdown and they end up breaking up. Rather than just move on with her life, this psycho decides to sue Seth, claiming he promised to marry her & therefore she should get compensated (even tho she had no job while they were dating & he spoiled her rotten the whole time). As they fight out this ridiculous court case, Chelsea & Seth make each other miserable in the funniest ways possible.This movie's crazy hilarious & is unlike any other romantic comedy out there. The movie is definitely underrated and will never stop being funny.

I watched this movie after reading a review that said how funny it was. I could not find an honest laugh in the whole film. Bridgette Wilson was stunning, but the story and the situations were just not funny. I patiently waited through the first part of the plot, to where I thought it would get interesting. Unfortunately, all the funniest parts were presented in the trailer and they are not funny enough. The rest of the film is strung together with cruelty between the two main characters. The only redeeming part of the film is the ending, which I will not spoil in the unlikely event that you will actually make it that far through the film. It just isn't worth watching.

Frustration humour is a term me and a pal of mine use to describe comedic situations that rely on the protagonist constantly being put in awful situations (often, but not always, by their love interest). We began using the term in connection to "Green Acres" and "I Dream of Jeannie" many years ago. A recent film examples of this would be "Meet The Parents". If done properly, it can be funny ("You, Me and Dupree"). If the correct balance isn't struck, it's just frustrating and annoying ("License to Wed")."Love Stinks" pushes it about as far as it can but it's resolution leaves you feeling satisfied. Bridgitte Wilson and French Stewart are both fantastic in this film. I'm truly amazed Wilson hasn't become a bigger star. The film begins with Seth and Chelsea meeting and the chemistry is immediate. We all know that euphoric feeling of early infatuation and it's captured perfectly in this film. I felt myself falling for Chelsea. But as a relationship matures those feelings fade and reality sets in. Sometimes, it isn't pretty. This film is about one of those times and it's truly hilarious. I'm sure most of us has dated someone who turned out to be a little looney. It's always nice to be able to laugh about it later.

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.
