Dan McCafferty was right: Love hurts (especially when youre a former assassin).
However, I will admit that I didnt particularly care about any of the characters beyond the surface.
The more outlandish, the better.
Given that Clueless is arguably my favorite movie of all time, I do love a good rom-com.
‘Love Hurts’ knows precisely what it is
Not every movie is meant to be an Oscar-winner.
You cant judge a movie like Love Hurts the same way that you would a cinematic masterpiece.
Love Hurts markets itself as a Valentines Day-centric kung fu parody and thats precisely what it delivers.
No, its not particularly nuanced, deeply innovative, original, or groundbreaking.
If you dont like slapstick or parodies then youll hate it.
But you would have hated it no matter what it did.
Could the movie have done more to set itself apart and make it more compelling?
The lack of depth can be chalked up to the movies message that its just not that deep.
Love doesnt always have a rhyme or reason.
And thats what we see.
Not every new release needs to be two hours, and this is one of them.
Hows that for a meet-cute?
Martial arts that’s worth watching
Is Love Hurts reinventing the martial arts wheel?
But that doesnt make the fight sequences any less fun (or brutal) to watch.
