Since it’s Super Bowl weekend, the closest to a “big” release we’ll be getting this weekend is the action-comedy “Love Hurts” starring Ke Huy Quan aka Short Round.
If the reviews are any indication, it’s going to be a rough weekend for Short Round as “Love Hurts” is getting destroyed by critics.The embargo has lifted and it currently sits at 20% on Rotten Tomatoes and 36 on Metacritic. That’s Razzie territory.
In the film, Quan stars as Marvin Gable, a realtor, working the Milwaukee suburbs, who is thrust back into a world of ruthless hitmen and backstabbings thanks to Rose (Ariana DeBose), a former partner-in-crime that he had left for dead.
“Love Hurts,” which is currently projected to earn $9M this weekend, opens in theaters nationwide on Friday.
Still no distributor for "Bucking Fastard," "Alpha Gang," "The Last Photograph," "Closing Night," and "The Life and Deaths of Wilson Shedd." The issue seems to be quality more than a lack of willingness to buy.
