100Misanthropic, cruel, hostile, corrupt, blasphemous and basically pretty evil. I loved it.
-
88Ryan has an edge that is extremely becoming…This is her best work yet.
-
75Karyo -- a big star in France but little known in this country -- has Steve Martin's knack for keeping his dignity while doing outrageous slapstick.
-
75This twisted romance possesses the soul and edgy atmosphere of an independent film but not quite the conviction.
-
75A deliciously nasty, dark comedy.
-
70It's a tribute to Robert Gordon's nifty screenplay and Dunne's cheerful way with digression that Addicted to Love, even as it broadens into screwball, also deepens into a character study full of surprising left turns.
-
70Warm performances that result in hilarity without guilt.
-
67One of the most inventive romantic comedies to come around in some while.
-
60Ryan and Broderick, while individually first-rate, don't combine as sexily as they ought, making the inevitable outcome a little too pat in an otherwise genre-bucking affair.
-
60Has the same relationship to the dark emotions it glosses that Disneyland's Jungleboat Cruise ride has to an actual excursion down the Amazon.
-
50It is always a problem in a love story when the rival seems more interesting than the hero, and that's what happens here.
-
50The story is as contrived as it is comical.
-
50Just a little shy of twisting the knife that extra twist.
-
50A fine--but not entirely uninteresting—mess. [2 Jun 1997, p. 74]
-
Like a cute version of Jekyll and Hyde.
-
50Ryan's abrasive and rather creepy character is something of a departure for her.
-
33Commits the cardinal sin of too many modern movies: It never gives the audience a clue why any of these people were ever attracted to one another in the first place. [30 May 1997, p. 54]
-
A desperately misbegotten screwball comedy.
-
0Ms. Ryan's lean, eagle-eyed golden girl is enough to curdle milk.
