This year has seen plenty of big releases, but not all of them received the same attention or praise. Back in February, just in time for Valentine’s Day, the action-comedy movie “Love Hurts” landed on the big screen. I wouldn’t be surprised if you haven’t heard of it (or actually seen it), because unfortunately, it flopped at the box office and received largely middling reviews.
Directed by Jonathan Eusebio, known for his work as a stunt coordinator and fight choreographer on “John Wick” and “Black Panther,” and starring the charming Ke Huy Quan, “Love Hurts” had all the ingredients you’d expect to be a hit. However, it only grossed $17 million worldwide and was released to rental streaming services less than 20 days later in hopes of finding a new audience.
