Wow, what an awful movie "Dirty Love" is. It's one of those dating movies that take place in some bizarro alternate reality where no one behaves like a recognizable human being (see also "Funny About Love" and "How To Lose Wooderson in Whatever Many Days"), but with a repelling amount of gross-out that invites (hopefully unwanted) comparison to "Freddy Got Fingered" (arguably the worst movie of the last ten years).
I'm not sure why I chose to sit through this movie. Maybe because I found Jenny fetching on "Singled Out" a lifetime ago. Or perhaps it was the rare Roger Ebert zero-star review that compelled me.
Not a minute of "Dirty Love" is believable. I have no idea why I was supposed to like any of the characters, or think anything in it was funny. It's somewhat fascinating to watch in a train-wreck sort of way, like I can't believe what I'm seeing and must continue to be appalled and disgusted. Masochistic, I sometimes am.
I could go into how horrible this movie is but the details are already fading from memory. Guillermo Diaz (so cute in "Party Girl"; what happened?) was flown in from another galaxy to act like an ass and pull hankies from his. Some random guy does something with a dead fish that Richard Gere and Jerry Penacoli might admire. There was a long, boring rock performance to pad the running time by whom I later learned was Sum41, and, um....wait! I remember something that was almost funny! There's a reference to Chrissy Snow which I guess was supposed to remind us of Jenny's Suzanne Somers idolatry. Yeah, I would call that the highpoint of this movie. (Others might cite Jenny's boob popping out, but, eh, that sort of thing doesn't do anything for me.)
Biggest disappointment was not hearing the Frank Zappa song that inspired my summary line. Stupid cheap movie, not living up to my meager expectations...

{Oh, the guy to banged Stifler's mom is in this movie, which made me ruminate on what the kids from "American Pie" have been up to. The pie f**ker did the Amy Heckerling dud "Loser" and a Woody Allen movie. Chris Klein was sweet in "Election" but has done nothing worthwhile since. Tara Reid is a terrible actress (she was simply awful on "Scrubs") whose drunken floozie shtick was embarrassing. Natasha what's-her-name did that "Beverly Hills" movie but hasn't been heard from since. The third girl was in "American Beauty" and did a stint on "Six Feet Under" as Claire's Sapphic sister. And Stifler himself survived "Dude, Where's the Script Doctor?" to party with the Rock on the set of "The Rundown" and buddy up with Johnny Knoxville as the Dukes. All in all, the crap far outweighs the class.}
