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.
This unbelievably awful film was awarded the Razzie Award for the worst movie of 2005, and it's awfully hard to disagree with the decision. It is a shameless monument to McCarthy's ego, as her badly written screenplay is designed exclusively to provide a showcase for her tiresome brand of toilet humor and self indulgent mugging that makes Jerry Lewis look restrained by comparison.
But as bad as McCarthy's script and performance are, she isn't helped by then-husband John Mallory Asher's heavy-handed direction or Eric Wycoff's brutal cinematography, with unforgivingly harsh lighting that shows off every imperfection in the actors' faces and robs McCarthy and Carmen Electra their usual saving grace as eye candy.
The most remarkable scene was McCarthy at a grocery store buying tampons when her period kicks in. She starts running through the store leaving a dripping trail of menstrual fluid, which ultimately becomes a massive pond of the stuff that she slips in and is finally covered by. It wasn't the least bit funny and quite sickeningly tasteless.
The cast is uniformly awful, with the lone exception of Eddie Kaye Thomas as the plain fellow who is devoted to McCarthy. He steals the film with the sole characterization that doesn't descend into cartoonish self indulgence. Of course with a movie like "Dirty Love," that can be considered petty theft.
But the price of admission was worth the DVD audio commentary by McCarthy and Asher (who comes off as a clueless fool who was a periphery character on the set), one of the most outlandish displays of narcissism and self-delusion I was ever witnessed. They were constantly congratulating themselves on their own brilliance, and oblivious to the fact that the movie was a god-awful mess. The funniest part was three minutes before the film ended, McCarthy announced that she had another appointment and actually walked out of the taping to let her husband finish up! He had nothing to say except to reiterate how brilliant Jenny was, a conclusion that the vast majority of viewers of "Dirty Love" will disagree with.

Dirty Love is truly the worst film I have seen so far in my 27 years on this planet.
Everyone involved in the creative process of the film should never be allowed to work in the industry ever again. I feel as if I have been robbed of 90 minutes of my life. I sat through the whole film on the odd chance that it might get better but unfortunately it just got worse. I did laugh at several points throughout the movie, but these were at the quality of the acting or the stupidity of the storyline.
Given the choice of either a repeat viewing or having my fingernails slowly ripped off, one by one,without painkillers whist listening to Kenny G, I would choose the latter.

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.
Dirty Love (2005)
BOMB (out of 4)
After reading Ebert's "No Star" review and seeing him rank this as the third worst movie of 2005, I just had to try it out for myself. Not only is this the worst film I've seen from 2005 but I'd also go as far as to say this is the most embarrassing piece of trash I've seen from a known actress. Jenny McCarthy catches her boyfriend banging another chick so she has a nervous breakdown while trying to find another guy. Everything in this film from the horrid direction to the horrid acting is downright bad but it tries to set itself apart with some disgusting humor. This humor includes McCarthy having her period in a supermarket and the blood leaking all over the place, people slipping in it and so on. McCarthy wrote the screenplay, which is quite bad and it's rather sad to see how far she went to embarrass herself. A horrible movie that isn't even worth the scene where McCarthy shows off her breast.

- TriviaIn one scene, a movie director named Robert Rodale treats Kam Heskin's character harshly. In the commentary track, Jenny McCarthy and her then-husband, director John Mallory Asher, said Rodale was intended to represent director Kevin Smith. McCarthy had auditioned for Mallrats, and felt he had treated her very rudely. Asher then sarcastically complimented Smith for 'Gigli' (mistaking it 'Jersey Girl,' both of which featured Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez.) Smith's story of the audition is on his podcast, 'Smodcast' episode #82.
- GoofsWhen the girls are at Carrie's audition, a sign on the door reads "QUITE PLEASE. AUDITION IN PROGRESS". The word "quiet" has been misspelled, either on purpose or otherwise.
