Love Hurts' fails on practically every level, mostly because the movie has absolutely no idea what it’s trying to be.

Actor Ke Huy Quan is finally front and center after almost four decades in the entertainment industry, a few blockbuster hits and an Oscar under his belt.

Ke Huy Quan has said Steven Spielberg influenced his decision to accept this role, and David Fear of Rolling Stone agrees Quan deserves a chance to showcase his skills in a leading role, but this “lazy action flick” isn’t it. Love may hurt, Fear says, but not as much as watching a great actor stuck in a bad movie. The critic continues:

Love Hurts is a Universal movie, and since the production company is under the NBCUniversal umbrella, that means it will head to Peacock for streaming. Theatrical films typically hit the platform three months after their release, so if Love Hurts follows the same format, expect to see it on Peacock by May 2025.

While a lot of modern action movies highlight brutality, Jonathan Eusebio’s Love Hurts is a surprise in that it contains a particular level of charm and sweetness. Leaning heavily into its title and Valentine’s Day setting,

Career revivals like the one that has happened to Ke Huy Quan are extremely rare in Hollywood. As a child, he scored two big back-to-back roles in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and The Goonies.
