Dirty Love

I got this movie for free and decided to watch it to kill an hour and a half at work. After the first 25 minutes, the movie became so utterly intolerable that i decided that i would rather sit in silence staring at the ceiling for the next hour then endure the pain of watching this movie for another grueling 60 minutes. Not only the worst movie of 2005, but as far as I'm concerned the worst movie I've probably ever seen. Carmen Electra's character made me want to put a gun to my head, along with everything else in this movie which left me nauseated to the point I could taste puke in the back of my throat. After lending 30 seconds to the idea that someone would read this script and then shell out the cash to greenlight this movie, you will be driven in a downward spiral of insanity. This is 91 minutes of your life you will never get back. Instead, I recommend scheduling that root canal you've been putting off, its a much better investment of an hour and a half time and far less painful to endure.

i cant even begin to describe how bad this movie is. its so bad, its almost laughable, but then it descends into some truly horrible moments and instead of laughing you cringe. the supermarket scene was one. but its so much worse than that, its literally every moment where she thinks she is being funny. knowing that she thinks that she is funny makes watching this even worse. she never should have left MTV. here i am trying to write a review for a terrible movie and i need 10 lines. its so bad i cant even fill up the required text limit. OK think of this. think of a movie about a hot blonde with a great body, but instead of a woman being in it, its a really your stupid kid brother that like fart jokes and toe cheese. horrible horrible horrible horrible.

After watching DIRTY LOVE, a friend and I had a discussion about what makes a comedy like this work and why DIRTY LOVE failed so miserably in comparison to a film like DUMB & DUMBER. Both films include characters that are stupid idiots who fart, pee, and generally act in an obscene and vulgar manner, but DUMB & DUMBER is undeniably the better and funnier film of the two (even people who loath DUMB & DUMBER would certainly agree on this point). Why? The answer we came up with is that it has to do with the human element of comedy. When there is no humanity to be seen in the characters, the audience finds it difficult to identify with the improbable situation the characters find themselves in. There is a big difference between seeing Jenny McCarthy wallow in a puddle made of her own menstrual blood for no reason except to degrade her character even further than she already has been degraded and a scene in DUMB & DUMBER in which Jim Carrey accidentally kills one of the last two of a certain kind of owl in the world. The DUMB & DUMBER example, crude as it is, is a comment on society and the values of the characters and also was an expertly set up and executed joke. DIRTY LOVE's supermarket scene is just embarrassing.

You know when someone smells the rotten milk and says "Oh god, this is horrible, smell this." And then you smell it, knowing it will turn your stomach. That, is this movie. Bad acting, bad script, bad direction, bad humor. The music was pretty lame as was the cinematography. The only reason to see this movie, is to see how bad something can be made.

Eddy Kaye Thomas was okay in this film. McCarthy is horrible. She sickeningly overacts every scene and line. I didn't care for Carmen Electra's performance either (but neither did I like a similar type of role that Vince Vaughn portrayed in Be Cool.) It stretches belief that a studio continued to fund this garbage after they saw the dailies.

There was one saving grace for me. The "Bass in the Butt" scene. For whatever reason, it was hysterical to me. Perhaps because the rest of the film had been so awful and arduous. Most of the rest of the humor in this movie was simply just gross out, and far too over the top.

This is one of the worst movies I've ever sat through. So if you want to experience the rotten milk smell via a film, this is the movie to do it.

Whoever wrote the comments above must be associated with the film. This movie is abysmal - I just watched Ebert & Roeper crucify it - and they are right - special mention goes to Carmen Electra's horrendous acting- Jenny's husband directs the film - neither has any talent. This is a train-wreck that's not even fun to watch. Ugh. If the person who already reviewed the movie recommended it as a film to see at Sundance, when there are so many good films at that festival, his/her friends must hate them now. Avoid at all costs. The acting is horrible, the writing is awful, the camera work sucks - this is one of the worst movies ever! It's depressing that this got made when there are so many talented actors/writers/directors out there who can't get their films made. One hopes this will be the last time we have to see a Jenny McCarthy movie.
