Things bottom out when Zoe not only hooks up with another lover (there is not an ounce of body fat in this movie), but also misses her son’s soccer game. And up until then we were all having a good time. Read full review

Addicted is basically a social-issue melodrama that, minus some curse words, thrusting, and frequent side nudity, could have emerged sometime in the ’50s. Read full review

The film unfortunately depicts black female sexuality, a topic rarely portrayed onscreen, with all the depth and subtlety of a late night Cinemax offering. Read full review

Addicted is supposed to be erotica, so perhaps thinking about it too much is unfair, but the film is so uneven (it's both hot and preachy), as well as way too long, that thinking becomes inevitable. Read full review

Watching Addicted is like eating Cheese Whiz straight from the jar. There’s no nutritional value. It’s kind of embarrassing. But it does satisfy a base craving for cheap, immediate sensation. Read full review

The material swings between the sensual and the puritanical with whiplash-inducing speed; the dialogue all too often has the flat, dead sound of a first draft. Read full review

The actors are uniformly handsome and mostly serviceable, though the same can’t be said about the filmmaking or the writing. Read full review

It shows a side of life that a traditional soccer mom isn't supposed to have, her downward spiral, and the power of being healed through relationships

This may be shocking but i like this film even though i am a guy, i have not read the novel by Zane. The film tries to be so oscar worthy bait but fails it's like a Tyler Perry movie, with a handsome direction by Bille Woodruff, all of these talented actors are totally missed cast.

Their screen presence is just not enough and embarrassing with a script far beyond stupid. The actors are breath taking and their performance were entertaining as hell. Grade B… Expand

If you can make it past the lame script and the absolutely godawful performances by the cast, then this may be a decent flick, I guess.

This is the worst film that I've seen in the last 5 years. It's so bad that I haven't words to say about it. It has a bad development and uninspired plot. It doesn't worth the ticket.

I think this film falls short of keeping anyone entertained. Weak story, weak character development, Weak climax and overall poor production quality. Im sorry it was really terrible.
