![]() ![]() Could it be that she's looking for love in all the wrong places? Is it possible that her true love is her good friend and all-American nice guy John (Eddie Kaye Thomas) who has been quietly waiting in the background? The use of the word "quietly" in the previous sentence was purposeful. "Hey! Hey! Look at me over here!" She proceeds to hook up with a series of random human-ish caricatures including a corny magician, a man with a penchant for using large fish as buttplugs and a lecherous Woody Allen impersonator. Shrieking hysterically and contorting her face into bizarre expressions, Rebecca's reaction is less like a heartbroken lover than it is like the obnoxious jerk who wants to be in the live television shot. While her distress is a natural reaction, the form it takes is entirely alien. This awful tripe begins with Rebecca (McCarthy) finding her boyfriend Richard (Victor Webster) in bed with another woman. A stunning achievement of incompetence, this film might sweep the Razzies. Dirty Love represents the nadir of this battle with each obviously trying to destroy the other's career. ![]() While any public discourse around their separation has been civil and subdued, it's clear that the reality of the situation is quite the opposite. It's always sad when happiness inverts for a couple but sympathy for a family tragedy can turn to revulsion when the couple expresses a bitter hatred for each other and takes the feud public. Writer and star of Dirty Love Jenny McCarthy and director John Mallory Asher are getting a divorce. So if you want to experience the rotten milk smell via a film, this is the movie to do it. This is one of the worst movies I've ever sat through. Most of the rest of the humor in this movie was simply just gross out, and far too over the top. Perhaps because the rest of the film had been so awful and arduous. For whatever reason, it was hysterical to me. 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. She sickeningly overacts every scene and line. The only reason to see this movie, is to see how bad something can be made. The music was pretty lame as was the cinematography. Bad acting, bad script, bad direction, bad humor. 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.
