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]

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.'

Inane writing and a flaccid plot.

A one-dimensional comedy that mostly falls flat.

Love Stinks is a lively turn on an old idea.

Love Stinks is proof that even an awful, poorly executed idea can be borderline entertaining if it has enough funny jokes.

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