I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Blistering performances.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Another great show from Frankie Boyle, Glasgow's finest. The Scottish Frankie Boyle is by far the most politically incorrect stand-up comedian. All his jokes are full of sarcasm and most of the time very wrong. He's probably the most controversed comedian as his jokes always flirt with the politically incorrect. Well it doesn't flirt actually, it's just always completely wrong. A lot of people think he goes too far, but I'm not one of them. I think it is just hilarious how he brings his jokes in his typical Scottish accent. Subtitles might be required if you're not Scottish. Hurt Like You've Never Been Loved is not his best show but it's still better than most of the other stand-up comedy shows from other comedians. There was lesser interaction with the front seaters this time, and that is one of his trademarks, so to me that was a minus point. Be sure never to sit in the front when you go attend one of his shows live because he will totally destroy you. Frankie Boyle doesn't take any prisoners.
