A sexy woman discovers just how hard it can be to find a worthwhile man in this outrageous romantic comedy. Rebecca (Jenny McCarthy) is a beautiful blonde who thinks she has it made with her hunky boy... read more read more...friend, Richard (Victor Webster); however, when she comes home early one day and finds him in bed with another woman, she realizes that isn't quite the case. Devastated, Rebecca takes the advice of her friends Carrie (Kam Heskin), a half-bright actress, and Michelle (Carmen Electra), a racially confused beautician, and throws herself back into the dating game to prove to Richard that she can do better. However, there's a problem -- Rebecca is a bit of a klutz, she keeps ending up with men who are either crazy or strange, and each date she goes on ends in disaster. Does Rebecca have any chance at either finding new love or winning Richard back? And is it possible her pal John (Eddie Kaye Thomas) might be interested in being more than just friends? Dirty Love was written by leading lady Jenny McCarthy and directed by John Asher, McCarthy's then-husband. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Hilarious and cheeky comedy of sexy Jenny McCarthy who throws herself from one wild comic stituation into another. Jenny does an excellent job in her acting and script in this film.

    Crazy insane and ridiculous humor all balled up into one boisterious adventure. Jenny McCarthy as the woman rejected by her ex-boyfriend and how she handles rejection is stuffed with forced laughter with the antics she goes through...See this if you dare...Ha ha...not.

    Well is this film dumber than a doorknob, or what? This is a film that must've expected lowlights, and to be poorly recepted, but well, It is kind of worse than that..it is Hopeless and incompantant..well hopelessly without a cause for better judgement..and that is me being kind.

    Dirty indeed, from the content to the camera lenses. I can't recall if this was 'really bad' or just plain 'bad' so I'll split the difference. I did feel sorry for Jenny McCarthy who certainly tries hard here, unfortunately she was the only one.

    You'll laugh loudly at this genuinely terrible comedy and then hate yourself for it. If anything needs to be said, it's that McCarthy knows no vanity whatsoever...

    Jenny McCarthy is Hilarious in this, & I understand she wrote it too.Gotta love a Smart, Gorgeous Woman who doesn't mind making fun of herself.

    Jenny McCarthy is a comic genius! A gorgeous, crass, physical comedienne. There is nothing better than seeing a comic actor take it all the way for a laugh and in this movie she goes all out and kills it!!!

    In high school my best friend and I saw this movie at Movie Gallery. We liked Jenny McCarthy. I'ved loved this movie ever since. I think you have to require a special sense of humor to appreciate this movie.

The shtick is desperately crude and not particularly funny. One wonders why any actress, even a retired MTV game show hostess, would stoop to such a disgraceful gig. Full Review

Even by the standards of its bottom-feeding genre, Dirty Love clings to the gutter like a rat in garbage. Full Review

Comedy can be a deadly weapon in the wrong hands. Full Review

Jenny McCarthy's giddy charm is wasted by screen writer Jenny McCarthy.

Attention, Razzie voters. Full Review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Here is a film so pitiful, it doesn't rise to the level of badness. It is hopelessly incompetent. Full Review

Excruciatingly inept. Full Review

This banal comedy is filmmaking of the lowest order.
