But neither does this movie despite some crude humor. I was prepared to hate Love Stinks with a passion generally reserved for The Jerry Springer Show . The minimal advance publicity I had received had convinced me that this film would not be one that I would under normal circumstances have any desire to see.
Love Stinks doesn t stink all that badly.
In fact, one or two of the characters are downright amusing and likable. After worming her way into his heart, she proceeds to worm her way into every other aspect of his life. The first part of the film shows the meeting and rapid courtship of the two love birds. In the second part of the film, the love birds, having been transformed to carrion eaters, look for ways to destroy the other. Never having seen Mr. Stewart s work on his popular TV series, I was not expecting the unassuming charm he exhibits as Seth.
