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
Franklin 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.'
01/01/00
Love Stinks can make you feel good, especially if you've been involved in a bad relationship.
01/01/00
Love 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.
01/01/00
It'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
Love 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.
