Love Stinks

1999 Comedy

What happens when you realize that your new girlfriend isn't going to be the love of your life -- but she doesn't happen to agree? Seth Winnick (French Stewart) is a television writer attending the wedding of his close friends Larry (Bill Bellamy) and Holly (Tyra Banks), where he meets a strikingly beautiful woman named Chelsea (Bridgette Wilson). Seth falls in love with Chelsea, and she feels the same way. But before long, Chelsea wants a more permanent commitment; and the more Seth backs off, the more Chelsea makes clear that she's not giving him up. Before long Seth is desperate to get away -- and Chelsea is not about to let that happen. Love Stinks marked the first leading film role for comic actor French Stewart, best known for his work as Harry, the chronically puzzled alien on the television series Third Rock from the Sun.

Director: Jeff Franklin

Starring: French Stewart, Bridgette Wilson, Bill Bellamy, Tyra Banks, Steve Hytner

Reviews

  • A sporadically hilarious, acid-tongued romp through the darker sides of romance that refuses to back down.

  • A mean-spirited comedy...that steals the rampaging-psycho-chick formula from ``Fatal Attraction'' and tries to make it funny.

  • A lame TV sitcom with big-screen ambition that's almost touching in its hopelessness.

  • Love Stinks is what bad network TV comedy would be like if there were no censorship and less talent.
