Underrated and Amusing
Review date: 2008-02-12 Rating: 6 out of 10
Dirty Love, while not being the funniest comedy that I have ever seen, certainly had its moments and proves that Jenny McCarthy is a very talented comedienne who deserves more credit than she's usually awarded.
McCarthy stars as Rebecca, a young photographer who thinks that she has a great life until she catches her supermodel boyfriend cheating on her with another woman. He seems unphased by the whole incident and proceeds to destroy all of her photographic equipment and kick her out of their house. Completely abandoned, she turns to her friends - Michelle, Carrie and John - for help and stays with them while trying to recover from her break-up.
The film was written by McCarthy and has some very funny moments, while some of the jokes are hit and miss. There are also some genuinely uncomfortable moments - the escapade in the supermarket being one of them - but the film has such a good heart that its really hard to not like it. Especially given that McCarthy loves to make a fool out of herself, as do the rest of the cast.
Overall, the film has endured some harsh criticism given that its actually not that bad and is worth a watch, especially if you like Jenny McCarthy and Carmen Electra, who makes an amusing appearance as Rebecca's friend who thinks she's black.

Do not buy or rent this film! It makes no sense, there is no proper story line, becomes very boring and concludes with a very sudden ending.
There are humourous parts in this film but not enough to warrant watching it again!
Not as bad as has been said

At first I didn't think I was going to like it, as the start is a little slow. But, once you push past that then it is a really funny film. It's got some great humour and the storyline is no slouch either. Some of the acting in it is a bit dodgy, but hey, it's not claming to be some kind of cinematical milestone. It's worth a giggle, enjoy it.
