Love Stinks (film)

Love Stinks is a 1999 American black comedy film written and directed by Jeff Franklin and starring French Stewart, Bridgette Wilson, Bill Bellamy and Tyra Banks.

Seth, a wealthy sitcom writer-producer with an Elvis fixation, meets Chelsea, an interior decorator, at the wedding of their respective best friends, Larry and Holly.

Seth feels relieved until Chelsea files a palimony lawsuit and vows to take both his house and half of what he owns.

He has the ring appraised, sells his house so they can start anew, and convinces Chelsea to marry him on the Las Vegas Strip, because no one in their families will attend after everything that's happened.

Seth further reveals that his dentist and his assistant posed as a married couple and purchased the house, which they will now sell back to him, and that he bribed a jeweler to "appraise" Chelsea's glass engagement ring as a real diamond worth $75,000.

A livid Chelsea grabs the chapel security guard's gun and shoots Seth, who is dancing triumphantly down the aisle, in the buttocks.

The Las Vegas Police Department arrests Chelsea and an ambulance takes Seth away as they scream and trade insults.

A sickened Larry and Holy conclude, “We need new friends.” As the ambulance drives away, a horrified Seth recants his coming out after being groped by a male paramedic.

A newly single Chelsea tries in the squad car to propose marriage to the arresting officers, one of whom replies, "Lady, don't make me gag you."
