Good movie to watch for especially the dirty girls room and comedy shown in the movie make it a watch for the people so watch it at once.

I watched this on Amazon Prime around a month ago ish while tired & it's a total wreck! Jenny McCarthy shouldn't write or act. It's only mildly entertaining, that's why I gave it 4.

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.

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.

I saw this, and for the life of me, cannot remember why. THE WORST MOVIE EVER MADE. Every single comment that praises this film has got to be from people in it, I took a look at the box office, all but 2 theaters showing this film dropped it after it's first week.

It grossed $58,000 dollars.

That's not a typo.

$822 it's second weekend. Eight hundred and twenty two dollars. I made more that weekend.

That's not a typo, either.

Gigli is Oscar-worthy compared to this.

Not one of the characters were remotely believable, which wouldn't matter so much if they were funny. They were not funny. Perhaps this will be the torpedo that sinks what's left of Jenny and Carmen's careers, but I doubt it.

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 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.

Well stupid me spent 5 bucks to rent one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It was actually beyond bad. It doesn't even deserve a 1. It would be a favor to the world if every copy was gathered together and burned. Is that asking to much??? At first I thought the bad acting and stupid jokes were on purpose. As I watched further I realized that no, the people that are responsible for this film actually thought it was funny. That is scary in itself. I can even tolerate Tom Green and his stupid comedy so I can laugh at about anything but this... this is not funny on any level. When you read the movie description you think, "hey this might be OK" ... nope... not at all. perhaps if someone else wrote, produced and acted in it... The only thing that this movie is good for is perhaps to law enforcement agencies when they want to torture someone. Pop that in the DVD player, force the person to watch it and I guarantee you'll have a confession within 20 minutes.

I rated this movie 9 out of 10. That's right. 9 out of 10. Why? It really made me laugh.

Jenny McCarthy ridicules everything in this movie. Herself, her cast, stereotypes we all know, the photography business, love, women, men, fashion, movies, everything. Mostly, though, this movie makes fun of romantic comedies. This is a movie you should not take too serious, because it isn't. It's mostly just finger-pointing and laughing. You just have to "let it happen" as you watch it, and enjoy the hysteria and (self-)mockery. It really cracked me up a couple of times, especially at the end there was a joke I couldn't get over.

Jenny McCarthy is way too intelligent to produce something like this with the intention of making it a serious romantic comedy. (Because those of you who've seen it: a shoe? Really?) She just wanted to laugh at romantic comedies and I think she did a superb job.

This is by far not a great movie, but come on it has its share of laughs. I think Jenny McCarthy was pretty funny on Singled Out and especially on the Jenny McCarrthy show, and her 2 new york times best selling books were also fun, however I wouldn't consider myself a huge fan. And I hate Carmen Electra on screen, but HEY .. here these 2 were hilarious. For what it is, a gross-out comedy, it succeeds and fails on many levels. But I found it succeeded much more often than it failed. Sure the characters a bit stereotyical, but what movie like this contains amazing characters. I think Jenny has great charisma and is very likable at moments. Carmen got me not to think she was horrible, so thats a lot. She was actually hilarious, and I laughed at her quite a bit. So the chemistry between the "lovers" wasn't really there. So what if Kathy Griffin was underused .. she wasn't really needed. It had creativity (even though it shoots so often for way under the belt humor which is very hit and miss). It was quick, fun, and thats about it. I liked it .. I bought it .. so sue me.

Good job Jenny.

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.

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.

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.

Jenny McCarthy and Carmen should both be shot dead for making this film. Absolutely horrible. Terrible clichéd storyline, painfully awkward and unfunny dialogue/ "comedic" situations. Terrible soundtrack, terrible actors, terrible terrible terrible screenplay, terrible directing, absolutely could not have been a worse movie. I am in absolute shock that the film was made, but then again, her husband directed and she already had the money to finance this worthless trash. Do NOT pay a cent for this; if you must, download it, but be ready to commit suicide, if you manage to get through it.

Torture.

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.

I managed 26 minutes of this film.

They were the worst 26 minutes of my life. I actually considered suicide four times during said 26 minutes. I actually felt emotionally abused... this film violated me in so many ways. Please go back to the shop you got it from, buy every copy they have and for the sake of mankind, burn them all. You children and your children' children will thank you.

I would rather cut off my own toes, place them up my nose and mouth, thus stopping myself from breathing than watch such utter b*llocks again.

If this film was an item of clothing, it would be socks.

When I get an "Unrated" movie, I don't expect it to be good, but I expect some redeeming characteristics. There was a minimum of "breast" and "vagina" talk, but the only bare breasts in the movie were shot from a distance and covered with vomit.

The humor was juvenile and not even a little funny. The writing and acting were abysmal. I honestly cannot think of one good thing about this movie. This is a first for me.

It is not credible that anyone, let alone more than one person, gave this movie a 10 rating.

This movie is so bad that I am never going back to the block buster whence I rented it because I am embarrassed that someone there might recognize me as the guy who rented this movie.

This movie was sooooooooo derivative and such a piece of junk. Is there ANYONE who saw this movie and didn't see the Eddie Thomas angle coming? I can buy that its a comedy but since when do people of the opposite sex get strip searched in the same room..all just to pay off a mildly funny joke. If I had to watch her cry and flail about one more time I don't know what I would have done. Turn it off maybe. I watched it simply for the razzie wins and it was deserving of all it received. A hooker suddenly singing for no reason? A nearly complete Sum 41 music video...the coincidence of the pawn shop dealer and Eddie Thomas's guitar..it was just so very awful...Jesus. Jenny Mcarthy..please stop...please?

i can't believe the reviews i read for this movie, obviously you people don't understand the comedy in this movie. you are all taking it as a literal movie, understand this....its COMEDY that means fictional!!! nobody will ever act like she does in this movie, you want to because that's how you feel inside...but you will not act like this...OK???? get off it and get a sense of humor folks!!!! the movie is funny as any stupid comedy out there. i loved all of it, it's one of my favorites....because.....IT'S FUNNY. someone referred to dumb and dumber, very funny movie also but yes fictional. scary movie is funny too because its just dumb humor and that's what this movie is, dumb humor...entertainment...hello

I think this movie is hilarious. It's cheesy, it's camp, it's over the top, it's a tad idiotic, but it's funny. And just for the record, I hated Dumb and Dumber and am usually a fan of more highbrow comedy, but I could watch this movie over and over again. It reminds me of my girlfriends in goofier moments. Maybe people find it difficult to watch attractive women acting silly and/or crass? Jenny McCarthy seems to garner more vitriol than warranted, and I can't help thinking that the way she looks might have something to do with the anger being spewed in some of these reviews. In any case, if you are female and not afraid of a few fart or period jokes, and are looking for something slightly mindless to watch on a Saturday night, give it a chance.

"This is unspeakably, shockingly bad. It's sickeningly loathsome, it's a[...]suffering to the mind." - James "The Angry Video Game Nerd" Rolfe, Superman 64 review.

Wow, I never thought I'd succumb to this. Dirty Love, as of today, is the only film I've given a zero star review. On my site of course, not IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes. Those sites force you to give the film the lowest denominator. Dirty Love doesn't deserve any points at all. It's a disgusting and grotesque picture plagued by awful acting, pathetic characters, and one of the worst screenplays I've ever heard.

Jenny McCarthy, the lead actress in the film, actually wrote the screenplay for this trash. It's absolutely horrendous, and is questionably the worst screenplay I've ever heard. Why would McCarthy herself want to sit in a pool of menstrual blood? That scene alone was making me gag. Plus it's unrealistic. I'm not a woman, but if a woman had that much blood coming out of her vagina she would need medical attention or be dead. That amount alone is just absolutely not possible. Even if she sat in the spot for an hour.

Is this a romantic comedy? Are we supposed to feel bad for her? I don't. No sympathy what so ever for a woman dumb enough to date a womanizing model. Then for her to act extremely shocked when she was cheated on. Yes, in case you haven't searched the plot, Dirty Love is about Rebecca (McCarthy), a recently dumped photographer, trying to make her boyfriend jealous the whole film.

Her sleazy friends Michelle (Electra) and Carrie (Heskin) try to help Rebecca out in this time of need, but ultimately cause her even more distress. Her close male friend John (Thomas), who has a crush on her for some odd reason, tries to give her advice as well when deep down inside he really likes Rebecca and wants to prove he is the right guy for her. Hmm, the way John gives Rebecca advice has it ever occurred to her that this "John" likes her? Back to the idea of a romantic comedy, a romantic comedy is supposed to leave the audience with some sort of love, affection, or relation to the character. Maybe a stood up teen girl, or maybe a hopelessly twentysomething may get into this movie and find a "Rebecca" in them, but not me.

Rebecca clearly needs psychological help. But she looks to her two idiotic, brain dead friends which are about as much help as a homeless man in downtown Chicago. Carrie is an aspiring actress, but her really act should be trying to sound smart. Michelle is a wanna be black girl who is a body waxer. I will admit I looked at her with little amusement because I know girls like her, but no. She doesn't even help give this movie a single star.

Eddie Kaye Thomas is one actor I've always liked. He seems to be the only one trying to make a good film, but we never get into his life. We know he has a huge crush on the lead, Rebecca, but we never hear what he does in life, how he met Rebecca, etc. We get zero information.

The film almost ASSumes we know these characters and introduces them randomly like we've met them. Similar on how my dad says I met one of his friends when I was young but somehow can't remember. We get introduced by Michelle and John so abruptly, and by the time we're acquainted, someone else comes in.

It's almost similar to how in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird we are introduced to characters so quickly. The only difference was that book was so enjoyable and interesting while this is an utterly awful film. It's unwatchable and an all around mess.

Dirty Love is one of the worst films I've ever seen. It's up there with the remake of Day of the Dead and Stoic. There was no thought process behind Dirty Love at all. Every character was a one dimensional shell of what they should've been, and no one gave their potential. Jenny McCarthy is a beautiful women. But seeing her makeup smear, her breasts fly out, and her sit in a pool of her own blood are things that are just horrifying to see. Everything about this film is a broken down mess. Just despicable.

Starring: Jenny McCarthy, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Kam Heskin, Carmen Electra, and Victor Webster. Directed by: John Mallory Asher.
