Love Stinks (1999)
7/10
Had to defend this movie...
18 March 2005
I have never commented on a film on IMDb, but felt obliged to register so I could post a comment and defend this film. I did it because I have to say that it's one of my personal favorites. I do admit that this was not made to be a masterpiece. It is a "guilty pleasure" type movie, as it is awfully silly, but has some extremely funny parts in it. There are two things the film has that make it special. First, once it gets going (which takes about 15 minutes), it has pretty much continuous hilarious jokes that are unique and well-written. Second, it has a great surprise ending that makes it memorable. So, again, sure it's silly and a bit cliché at times, but it isn't for the Oscars. It's for watching something funny on a Wednesday night. It is probably a bit more of a guy movie than a girl movie, but not by much. Both sides get it pretty well in this one. If you appreciate humor, you will most certainly laugh and possibly very hard. So, if you feel a bit frisky, give it a try...you may just find a new favorite guilty pleasure.
