It's an awful, misanthropic, deadly unfunny and badly acted war - of - the - sexes travesty.

Reviews for Love Stinks
A cut-rate romantic comedy of the kind that Adam Sandler would star in if his movies made no money.
01/01/00
Top CriticFranklin relies too much on easy laugh-getters such as flatulence and crotch-kick gags, but at least he does provide his half-baked script with a fairly satisfying wrap-up.
01/01/00
Witless romantic comedy with hooks and lines that are all stinkers.
01/01/00
A cinematic exercise in overstatement.
01/01/00
With 3rd Rock from the Sun's French Stewart in the lead, it's hard to not think 'sitcom' while watching this 'un-romantic comedy.'
09/10/05
Jeff Franklin's idea of cutting-edge comedy writing runs to the kind of vulgar, unfunny shtick that puts the gag in 'gag.'

Top CriticLove Stinks can make you feel good, especially if you've been involved in a bad relationship.
01/01/00
Top CriticLove Stinks exceeds its expectations.
01/01/00
A one-dimensional comedy that mostly falls flat.
01/01/00
Top CriticFranklin has a certain talent for one-liners -- which Stewart delivers with rat-a-tat precision -- but the result is a spiteful movie that savors its own venom a little too well.

Top CriticIt's fun while it unfolds, but is instantly forgettable.
01/01/00
The bad smell emanating from this unsavory comedy simply means it's dead on arrival, is beyond resuscitation and is already quite putrid.
01/01/00
While the film bills itself as an unromantic comedy, the truth is that it's an unromantic un-comedy.
01/01/00
A sitcom episode stretched to fit, with raunch and language added for shock effect and cheap laughs.
01/01/00
Love Stinks smells like a bad sitcom.
01/01/00
Top CriticLove Stinks is a lively turn on an old idea.
01/01/00
Sure, women with wedlock on the brain and men led around by their private parts are good for a chuckle, but only if you have something witty or perceptive to say about them.
01/01/00
Love Stinks is such a paean to television, it would have done better to go straight to video, where it belongs.
