As a viewer from the U.K. it can be quite difficult acquiring African-American films. I really do enjoy watching this type of film, but I can honestly say that watching this could have put me off for life.

All of the men in the film were in serious need of medical attention and all of the women were acting no better than women employed in the oldest profession (only they weren't getting paid for it). The men were suffering from so much fustration, anger and agression that you could not understand what they were saying half of the time.

You had to watch the film about 3 times just to understand it (and that's if you could stay awake for long enough).

It was lucky to even get one star in the rating and I think that I did you all a favour by watching it and reviewing it so you wouldn't have to.

To summarise,DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME. getting this one.

It is somewhat hilarious to read some of the posts/comments made by mostly women about this movie. Now you know how a lot of black men feel after watching movies like Waiting to Exhale.

Honestly, this movie shows how a lot of us black men kick it when we get together. If you open your mind instead of taking the movie personal, you will see our pains and issues in our relationships and why we act the way we do.

The movie takes on four different relationships from four different brotha's and their perspectives. One of the most realistic movies I've seen regarding black men. No sugar coating...Just the real!!

I have a enormous black movie collection and I have never seen an urban film so awful in all my life. The acting is bad, the plot is terrible, and the stereotype of the black male and female run rampant throughout this travesty of a film.

This movie should of never been released to the viewing public. I have to say that this is an embarassment to urban films and I am throwing this movie away.

Love Beat the Hell Outta Me is a cheesy low budget production.

However, with that said... the best character was Chris played by Terrance Howard. He drives the movie. He's the tough bad boy with nothing nice to say, but he keeps the movie one fourth decent and interesting. The other characters are dull and uncomplicated. They also lack acting ability.

The movie did shed some light and put into SOME perspective on how men think regarding women and relationships. It seems as though, both men and women think each are just full of it and always have an ulterior motive for wanting to be with one another. But this movie showed how neither men nor women want to communicate their true feelings or just be honest about what they want from jump street. In all, unspoken words and misdirected actions help ensued massive amounts of confusion throughout dating and relationships as this movie showed.

I wouldn't recommend this movie to be watched for its production, but if one must watch it...watch it for its message regarding black men and their thought processes.

The movie mostly deals with views of a mans thinking about women, whether true or untrue. Women might not agree with the references made about them. The plot keeps you interested and involved as the story moves along. Terrance Howard is sure to win multiple academy awards during his acting career.

I did not have any idea what to expect with this movie, but I have to admit I really really did enjoy it. I've watched it over more than 4 times so far and each time its just as enjoyable. If women watch this and truly be honest, they would have to say it is truth and enjoyable.

I am so confused...first and foremost I have never in all of my years seen such ridiculousness...this is not a film, it's not even a movie...I have actually been in school/community play productions of better merit...I wish I knew what the directors and actors were thinking. And, maybe that is the problem they thought that we (the viewer) were in their heads. I believe I lost a little respect for actors Terrence Howard and Glenn Plummer...I don't understand how they couldn't see the level of this work in the new millennium...considering previous work I've seen them in much longer ago...my friend who purchased the movie actually threw it away...she took it out of the trash long enough for me to view the "travesty on film" and mirror her exact seniments...after we viewed it she put it back where it belonged...it was such a horrible experience that she wouldn't even use the tape to tape something else...

{and I will end just like that with no closure no thrill just like the tape did (I can't even call it a movie or film)}

I was soooo disappointed. I don't even want this film in my Black DVD collection so to the bin it went.

Where's a Zero rating when you need one?

This is just ... a mess. Overrun with mean-spiritedness, the vileness of the anti-female ramblings is matched only by the sub-amateur production values.

The writing is awful. The camerawork is headache-inducing. The acting would look bad on the stage of the worst gosapel stage show you ever saw.

Obviously, renting a camcorder and tripod from the local camera store does NOT qualify you as the next Spike Lee. If this is the best you can do, you're not even the next Matty Rich!

How bad is this movie? Take the "skeletons in the closet" rant from "Eddie Murphy: Raw" and multiply it by 1,000! Every woman these guys know is a "farm tool," "witch with a B in front" or worse. There's not one redeeming female character. There's not even one redeeming MALE character!

These are familiar faces, but these actors can do better than this. Based on these performances, they should really reconsider their career goals.

If Winky Dinky Dog won't take them back, there's always work at the post office.

I'm all about supporting films not necessarily shown in mainstream cinema - but this is utterly ridiculous. This film was truly disappointing (and confusing - it didn't have a plot). While I urge you to support independent films - I strongly suggest that you bypass this one and DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.
