Love Hurts (2009)

Too much of everything

Thanks for the memories!

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

WHAT!!! 28 year old playing 17! Who they kidding? Why do they do this?Don't they ever learn.Stop this stupidity.Use actors of the age they are playing.To use somebody almost twice the age they are supposed to be playing is ridiculous.And to the actor: why do you let them do this to you? You have no shame. Are you only in it for the money and and don't care about letting the producers and directors walk all over you? Act your age not somebody half it.

Love hurts, and divorce hurts too, especially if you're so self-absorbed that you have no idea what's happening. Moving on also hurts when you're completely clueless about how regular people in society operate. "Love Hurts", the film, is a comedy, but it also hurts because the hackneyed jokes are more painful than funny.None of the characters (the ex-wife, the sex-crazed assistant, or the candid son) were thought out at all. They were empty, annoying, and unintentionally more clueless than Ben, our "hero". I came close to liking Ben. Richard E. Grant can pull off sarcasm with aplomb, and he has a look that you can laugh at even when he's drunk and contemptible. But it takes a significantly better written film than this to successfully have an anti-hero hero."Love Hurts" doesn't have anything original, and nothing particularly funny. Most characters didn't make much sense, but they also weren't written as people, they were walking, talking jokes—which unfortunately didn't even provide any laughs. Grant brought everything he could to the character of Ben, and you can almost watch the film for him, but I would just recommend finding him in something else instead.

Love Hurts? Yes it does.Richard E Grant in a romantic comedy about a married couple that separates. Wife Carrie Anne Moss Leaves her husband because he is so rigid and so set in his ways that he is never spontaneous. Helped by his son he tries to date and a way to loosen up.I like Richard E Grant but he is so insufferable here its a wonder that his marriage lasted as long as it did. He is a terrible person and seems to be having a terrible time making this movie. I really hated it for any number of reasons, but most have to do with Grant.I can not recommend this film at all, even though it does have a couple of moments.

...unless you count the pain in your cheeks from laughing too much. I certainly had from time to time.Anyhow, when I heard about this movie I seriously thought that it will be just another heartache, breakup, deep-thinking, insert-any-cheap-cliché-here movie, because of the title. I mean, movies with such titles usually smells like recycling the same old breakup story we've all heard for about one hundred times, if not more. The opening scene just made my bad feeling stronger with his "You've gone heavy on the cheese, honey" and her bath robe, and the flowers on the sidewalk.Boy, was I wrong...This movie is damn hilarious! It made me laugh so hard that if I was having milk, I'm sure it'd have blew trough my nose. The father - son relationship didn't left me with the awkward feeling of something unreal, god no, I wish everybody could have a dad like that. Mom could have had a bit more time in the movie, but this was close to perfect, in my eyes.Loved it, the craziness, lightness, the way it was always fun and alive and made you cry because of laughing, not because of sadness. Besides, dad's hot. A 9 from me, definitely go watch it, it'll make your day!
