Addicted to Love Reviews
Good Cast-Mediocre Movie
Addicted to Love was a bit of a disappointment, considering the makeup of the cast: Matthew Broderick and Meg Ryan among others.
The movie brings to the screen the story of a young man who travels to New York City in an effort to change his girlfriend's mind after her terminating their relationship. Once there, he discovers that she is already living with someone and consequently sets up an elaborate surveillance system. Things get even more complicated when he finds out that he is not the only heartbroken "ex" who will go to great lengths to get his former lover back...
In short, the acting is surprisingly average (!), the setting is pretty good, while the dialogues and the plot are below average.
Though the potential for a great movie was definitely there it fails to take off. A shame really...
A Little Too Mean For Its Own Good
Kelly Preston and Tcheky Karyo are a New York City couple who come together after Preston leaves Matthew Broderick and Karyo uses Meg Ryan in order to get a Visa. Now Broderick and Ryan are teaming up to get even with their ex's. The problem is, the offenses they've endured (being dumped and being used) don't really warrant the horrible things they do to these two people, especially Karyo. Which is probably why first-time director Griffin Dunne used two such amiable stars in the feature roles. After all, how can we not root for Ferris Bueller and Harry's Sally? Unfortunately, it ends up being pretty easy not to root for them when their revenge is so excessive, the pace of the film is so uneven, and the script isn't particularly funny.
There's a difference between black comedy and just mean-spirited comedy. Despite a handful of amusing moments and a few nice cinematic touches, this film does not walk that line very well.
