Good concept, poorly executed.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This poor man's WAR OF THE ROSES pits the initially mellow French Stewart against marriage-crazy Bridgette Wilson. She lures him in him, mainly through wild sex, and then goes berserk when he makes it plain he has no intention of getting married. Among other things, she throws a pair of $10,000 diamond earrings into the drink (don't worry; she still has them and was just screwing with him). Stewart isn't so mellow at this point. Near the end, they reconcile and head for Vegas to marry. What happens after that is entirely too predictable, right down to someone getting -- well, see the movie for yourself. Both leads are in fine form, but the supporting cast (Tyra Banks, anyone?) could have been selected with more care. I must say the curvaceous and smart-as-a-whip Wilson was at the top of her game when she made this trifle. When she isn't letting it all hang out, she gets to play a passable Elvis, Stewart's idol. How could any sane man turn this vixen down?

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.

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..! ;).

*Potential spoilers* Don't be fooled by the title of this movie. It's not about love in any way. It's about a woman who thinks she ought to get married and a guy who thinks he ought to have sex. When each of them fails to attain their projected goals, hell is unleashed. Reading the comments like 'women want to control men' and 'it's only the guy who is emotionally impotent' gives you an idea what this movie is about: the inability of its characters, the inability to love. Even when, in the end, the two come together and marry, it's not out of love but out of some manic drive to 'get it done'. Hence the title of the film makes about as much sense as if you'd call a film about people starving to death 'food sucks'.So for all you guys and gals out there who project their fears and inability to love on the other sex: Try loving first. A superfluous film, with irrelevant characters having irrelevant 'problems' and an insult to the very word. As if there weren't any real problems on this earth. Best to be missed.
