Esse filme estava esquecido no meu DVR, e quando encontrei decidi assistir. Love Hurts me lembrou um pouco "Crazy Stupid Love", mas Ã (C) divertido e o elenco Ã (C) bom.

Moss brings warmth and dignity to a part that could've easily slid into stereotype, while Camryn Manheim owns her few scenes as Amanda's best friend.

Rated: 3.5/5

Variety

There's a perfectly likable, sitcomish romantic comedy buried somewhere deep inside Barra Grant's indie Love Hurts, but it would have taken some very significant rewrites to unearth it.

Hollywood Reporter

A flat-footed sitcom with unconvincing situations and comedy.

...an utterly misbegotten piece of work...

Boxoffice Magazine

This is not muddy storytelling, just bipolar and unconvincing, as Grant force-feeds us comedy to soften us up for the emotional kill.

Rated: 2/5

It's bloodless material, sluggishly captured by Barra, who's trapped in directorial survival mode, terrified to color outside of the lines.
