Reviews:

Many reviews say that I Love You, Stupid is just a fine film and nothing more. The movie seems to be lacking something.
While the plot feels familiar, the script drops knowing observations into each scene, which gives it a stroke of uniqueness up to some extent. Some deeper themes make the characters easy to identify.
