Reaction: Lovestruck has become the second lowest grossing film in the history of LRF, which obviously made it tough to turn a profit. The film was not an easy one to market - basically unknown stars and a lack of marketable genre material. At least it didn't cost very much...

"A promising start is derailed quickly when William makes a joke about Amanda...ahem, 'sucking off' to others. It all goes to hell soon after as William proves to be one of the most unlikable characters I've ever seen. The final blow? A suicide attempt out of nowhere. A truly unpleasant experience all around." - Mitchell Parker, New York Times

"If the character inconsistencies and lack of plot weren't enough to make the film a rough viewing, Lucas Jade Zumann comes onto the scene playing perhaps the most unlikable character in film history - and he's supposed to be the protagonist!" - Dave Manning, Ridgefield Press

"The story of Lovestruck appears to be about a 20-year-old high schooler who is also a professional filmmaker. And on top of that, the 'hero' of the story, William Dane, has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. He treats everyone around him poorly and shows absolutely zero growth or development during the 'story' on display." - Michael Wilmington, Rolling Stone

Rated R for some offensive language, crude sexual images, and thematic material - all involving minors
