Devastated, Rebecca takes the advice of her friends Carrie (Kam Heskin), a half-bright actress, and Michelle (Carmen Electra), a racially

The shtick is desperately crude and not particularly funny. One wonders why any actress, even a retired MTV game show hostess, would stoop to such a disgraceful gig.

Even by the standards of its bottom-feeding genre, Dirty Love clings to the gutter like a rat in garbage.

Jenny McCarthy's giddy charm is wasted by screen writer Jenny McCarthy.

Here is a film so pitiful, it doesn't rise to the level of badness. It is hopelessly incompetent.

McCarthy is still not funny, never was, never will be.

It doesn't make a lick of sense, largely because none of these characters acts like a recognizable human being.

McCarthy is still a tremendously appealing presence, but her script about a gal who tries to move on after her himbo boyfriend kicks her to the curb is pure amateur hour.

When Carmen Electra as a ghetto body waxer is the highlight of your film, you've got trouble.

Dirty Love is ninety mintes of soul-crushing idiocy, wrapped in incompetence and smothered in fart jokes.

Aims to be the chick-flick answer to Deuce Bigalow, but even that turns out to be setting its sights too high.

Dreadfully lacking...about as awkwardly received as a training bra on Anna Nicole Smith's bouncy bosom...a cheap-minded farce aimed at the lowest common denominator

You can't really like a movie that features a beautiful young woman who sometimes is naked and you end up leaving the theatre wishing you could see less of her.

One thing you can say for McCarthy: The woman knows no vanity.

The shoddy script and train wreck of a supporting cast don't do much to win us over.

This dyspeptic exploration of modern romance was written by TV-star Jenny McCarthy, who tailored its vulgar slapstick to her own apparently endless willingness to be the butt of raunchy gags.

McCarthy ... is so busy trying to prove she doesn't take herself seriously that she undersells what is actually some serious comedic talent.

Audience Reviews for Dirty Love

Hilarious and cheeky comedy of sexy Jenny McCarthy who throws herself from one wild comic stituation into another. Jenny does an excellent job in her acting and script in this film.

Crazy insane and ridiculous humor all balled up into one boisterious adventure. Jenny McCarthy as the woman rejected by her ex-boyfriend and how she handles rejection is stuffed with forced laughter with the antics she goes through...See this if you dare...Ha ha...not.
