Product Description
-------------------
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

All I can say is if you've had the unfortunate experience of dating a loony toon, you can totally relate to this movie. The only reason I can see people being upset over this movie, is if they are the ones who have done the psychotic things the crazy girlfriend did....or have thought about doing them. I'm a woman. I'm very defensive about movies that put women down. This is a comedy people! I have seen so many of this "type of woman" (I live in California...and OMG yes they exist!) and I am so glad this movie was made. I bought copies for all of my friends (male and female) who are dating someone I would consider...."close to psycho," or OMG "someone they really should NOT marry, much less continue a relationship with!" It's a funny movie, but a good hint/nudge...if they are bright enough to "get it.";
[Rating: 5 Stars]
This is the funniest movie I have ever seen! I love love love this movie! Everyone I have shown it to loves it. If you're in the mood for a silly comedy, then this is your movie!;

This movie is very good. If you like to laugh and have a funny revengeful side, then this is it. You will watch it over and over. ;
