Dirty Love (2005)

Just so...so bad

Dreadfully Boring

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

When watching a movie for the first time, it's pretty important to be open-minded and having 0 expectations for it, to avoid any kind of disappointment and to properly enjoy it. I tried to do that myself with this flick, but it was impossible.I've seen a lot of bad comedies, but this is just another damn level; it's unbelievably awful, beyond bad. Every single thing about it it's incredibly cringe-worthy; the acting, the dialogue, the jokes, the direction, even the soundtrack. Don't get me started on that supermarket scene, so over-the-top and disgusting.Anyone heard that story of that ''E.T. The Extraterrestrial'' video-game that was so bad Atari took all the cartridges and buried them on the desert? Someone should do the same with every copy of this thing.Finally, I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone. I'm even ashamed to admit that I saw this.

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.

People are far too ready to label films The Worst Movie Ever, and this film has certainly earned its fair share of such comments. Well, all I can say is that anyone who has said that can't have seen many films. Why, just today I saw a movie which was noticeably worse (Iron Hero, if you're interested).This one isn't very good, to be fair. There are elements of professionalism here and there, a couple of gags which amuse (they stand out among the myriads which fall flat on their face), and an entire movie full of material which is completely misjudged. Jennie McCarthy is an able comedy performer: this film does not give her the ability to show it, and it is her own writing which is her worst enemy here.

I can think of a hundred movies much much worse than this one. I can honestly say that my friends and I sat through the entire movie unable to stop laughing because Jenny was so hilarious! McCarthy proves herself in this movie that she can do comedies and do them well. I loved it so much that I went out and found it at Blockbuster the next day to buy it. If you enjoy a good laugh, try out this movie. True, there are crude parts, so it may not be for everyone. That may be why people are so down on this movie. That or they just can't enjoy a good laugh. Or they're stuck up on McCarthy. But if you like raunchy comedies, and movies that will give you and your friends those incredible movie quotes you can use for times to come, give it a try. Definitely one of my favorite comedies and I watch it often!
