PodBill Just what I expected

Steineded How sad is this?

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

kyleherbertz 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.

Cards_fan 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.

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..! ;).

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.
