10	Rebecca, a {{Dumb Blonde}}, thinks she has it made with her [[JerkJock hunky boyfriend]]. After catching him cheating, she freaks out and seeks help from a [[PhonyPsychic psychic]] (Kathy Griffin) and her two friends, one of whom is an [[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy ethnically confused]] Creator/CarmenElectra. To prove she can get over him, Rebecca throws herself back into the dating game, seeking the "white pony" that the psychic instructed her to look for. However, through a series of [[BlindDate dating]] [[HeadTiltinglyKinky disasters]] and other [[AllPeriodsArePMS mishaps]], Rebecca realizes that she may have had love all along.

12	!!Tropes:
13	%%* AllGirlsWantBadBoys
14	* BigOMG: To quote [[http://www.avclub.com/articles/dirty-love,4308/ the AV Club review,]] "It's tempting to say that any film whose opening scene features Creator/JennyMcCarthy repeatedly screaming "Oh my gaaawwwddd!" at the top of her lungs has nowhere to go but up. Sadly, ''Dirty Love'' proves otherwise."
15	* BookEnds: The movie starts with Rebecca doing a "Walk of Shame" in the Walk of Fame. Close to the ending, she's doing it again.
16	* ButtMonkey: Throughout the film, Rebecca suffers a lot of humiliation and a few AmusingInjuries.
17	* TheCameo: Music/Sum41 makes a cameo appearance performing their song "No Reason". Oddly enough, their frontman Deryck Whibley appears in the film not as himself, but instead playing a character named Tony.
18	* CringeComedy: The movie runs on this. For instance, Rebecca enters the bedroom of her date, [[spoiler:and he's naked, on all fours, and with a fish between his butt cheeks]].
19	* DoggedNiceGuy: John, played by Eddie Kaye Thomas, loves Rebecca but is ignored by her.
20	* DumbBlonde: Rebecca and one of her friends, Carrie, are blondes and not very bright. (Their third friend Michelle is a brunette, but also not very bright.)
21	%%* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy
22	%%* JustFriends
23	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Rebecca and her friend date a pair of brothers who look and have the same mannerisms as Creator/WoodyAllen. However, the film being what it is, they serve no other purpose than being the butt of Jewish jokes.
24	* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: Carmen Electra plays the TokenBlackFriend stand-in.
25	* TakeThat:
26	** The Creator/WoodyAllen {{Exp\|y}}ies get no respect either from Rebecca nor anyone else.
27	** One scene features a movie director named Robert Rodale who treats Rebecca's friend Carrie harshly. In the DVDCommentary to the film, Jenny [=McCarthy=] and her then-husband and director of this film, John Asher point out that this character was intended to represent real film director Creator/KevinSmith; [=McCarthy=] had auditioned for his film ''Film/{{Mallrats}}'' and both her and Asher felt that he had treated her very rudely.[[note]]Asher then goes for a swing but misses when he sarcastically and incorrectly compliments Smith on his recently bombed film, ''Film/{{Gigli}}'' (mistaking it for Smith's film ''Film/JerseyGirl'', both of which featured Creator/BenAffleck and Creator/JenniferLopez.)[[/note]]
28	* ToiletHumor: A few disgusting bodily fluids show up, such as a man vomiting on Rebecca, and her menstruating all over a store corridor.
