Runtime: 1 hr 34 mins

Genre: Comedies

Synopsis: Seth Winnick has it all -- a successful career in television, good friends, and a passionate relationship with the beautiful Chelsea Turner. However, when he fails to make a timely marriage... Seth Winnick has it all -- a successful career in television, good friends, and a passionate relationship with the beautiful Chelsea Turner. However, when he fails to make a timely marriage proposal, Chelsea behaves as is she has been bitten by a rapid squirrel. The two redirect their passion into malice and forge a sordid "anti-relationship," replacing love and tenderness with vengeance and venom, which fuels a series of bids to out do the other with acts of cruelty. This unromantic comedy features cameos by Jason Bateman, Christian Slater, and Tiffani-Amber Thiessen. [More]

A one-dimensional comedy that mostly falls flat.

Love Stinks is such a paean to television, it would have done better to go straight to video, where it belongs.

They called it right: this movie reeks, stinks, smells and destroys life as we know it with one olfactory destructive blast.

Franklin 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.

While the film bills itself as an unromantic comedy, the truth is that it's an unromantic un-comedy.
