bobm5508 Very few movies can elicit such wildly different reactions from people. This movie seems to be the classic "loved it or hated it" movie.I saw it years ago and found Bridgette Wilson gorgeous, French Stewart surprisingly appealing and the "War of the Roses" to be funny stuff. It is now making the cycle thru Showtime and I've watched it again.This time I found myself laughing out loud. The one-liners were great and the performances absolutely spot on. Bridgette (still gorgeous) is obsessed with getting married and is clearly overly manipulative, but I think has real affection for the guy. French Stewart, relaxed and likable as a leading man, is put off by some of her antics, but sees a "pretty, sexy, fun" woman in his life. She finally snaps and he sees the bad is way worst, so let the games begin!! The escalating battles are funny, the actors are terrific in their more and more crazy ways. I particularly liked Bridgette Wilson's comic touches. She got a bit typecast as the Bride left behind in several movies after this, and never got to be this funny again.So in keeping with the theme of these user comments, if you don't buy into the broad, snippy humor, you're not in for a good time. If your humor leans toward some slapstick, animals in peril, and dark "get even" stuff, you'll get a lot of laughs.

addybhai786 Wow, This is a great movie. I just say it on TV after almost 8 years of its release. And i admit that i did miss some thing cool.The movie is very simple and light hearted and my soul reason to watch it was due to Bridgette Wilson. But the story it self and all the other characters are very well done. Wilson is beautiful as usual and she is every man's dream. The role didn't quite suit her innocence but overall she did a great job.Some one suggested that if u like this movie and your girl friend doesn't, then sue her.. Ya, you are right as this movie is must watch for all the couples (un married especially).My vote 7/10.Overall Good Acting, Nice lines and scenes. THe Ending was a bit surprise though Unconventional.Must watch.

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.

Myrzan Firstly I'd like to mention, that this movie is a rather over-the-top and not very intelligent or realistic comedy containing rude/insulting humour (looking at the rating many would probably call it just stupid) mainly about a woman who turns into a quite she-Satan when the well-off man she has sinked her claws on refuses to marry her. If that sounds like it will make you feel bad don't watch this, go have a glass of milk and some cookies instead.After seeing 'Love Stinks' I thought it probably hasn't got a very good rating here because of bashing from some ferocious feminists and other people who take themselves and things in general too seriously. However when I checked the ratings (which weren't very high as expected) I saw that women didn't in general give lower points than men which was a pleasant surprise. I guess there are more than few women who can take even a little provocative joke after all.The reason why I expected women to bash this movie is that it portrays many women as either rather bimbo-like (many of the side characters) or manipulative control freaks (especially the main character and also to some extent her woman friend).The main plot revolves around Chelsea and Seth who meet at a party. Chelsea is the bridesmaid and Seth is the.. umm.. 'groomsmaid' at their friends wedding (can't remember the real word at the moment, bad English, sorry, if u want to make a complaint please make it in finnish ;)). They get together and for a while things are OK. Then Chelsea decides she wants to get married and starts plotting on how to get what she wants. At first it seems to work but then Seth starts to get worried and jumps on the brakes. When he determinedly refuses to propose to her Chelsea goes slightly mad and tries to rip Seths life apart, which leads to quite a war between the two.Someone compared this to the 'War of Roses' and I also think the two are a bit similar. The War of Roses is a little better I think, Love Stinks is bit like War of Roses with a screwball twist.I gave this movie a rating of 6 due to it being a bit uneven (there are few moments that are in my opinion a bit boring or stupid). However I would recommend seeing this because the funny parts are quite funny. There's a farting in bed - scene for example that has been circling in the net (Feeder on fire! Incoming..! ;).
