Box office collection and critical reception
Despite its star-studded cast and intriguing premise, Love Hurts received a lukewarm response from critics. Many reviews criticized the film's pacing and tonal inconsistencies. The movie's estimated $18 million budget was overshadowed by its worldwide earnings of only $17 million, per OTTPlay. However, it may find new life on streaming platforms due to Quan's post-Oscar success and DeBose's rising popularity.
