Love Stinks, and so does this movie, a joke that would have worked infinitely better if the title of this bomb was Love Sucks. Seth Winnick (French Stewart) is a comedy writer who is afraid of commitmentógee, Iíve never seen that beforeówho falls in love with the lecherous Chelsea Turner (Bridgette Wilson), a superficial woman who latches on to Seth for his moneyóanother character trait I havenít seen previously. It is impossible to capture the pathetic, draining, unfunny and stereotypical nature of this film in words, although removing the entertainment value from a UPN sit-com comes fairly close. Itís conceivable that his was a pilot of a TV series that was just too horrific to put on primetime.
