AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
eban1981 She plays like a vingative and bad-girl (even better way,nothing to weep and get depressed like a melo-dramatic cause for lost love) everything to wreck a intolerable and mellow affair.Meg Ryan was Different but this role simply is RomCom (Meg's Trademark)A A very big emphasis is Meg Ryan putting her hands on the cockroaches. What a Brave woman! does Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston, Scarlett Johnhasson stand for a few seconds a few handfuls of cockroaches without knocking the despair? And not to mention that She played the pranks worthy Eminent Characters Cartoon like Bugs Bunny,Pink Panther,Jerry(from Tom & Jerry),Meg rides a Kawasaki,She makes tricks.Meg 's puppy girl, so cute.... Eternal youth 4 Meg Ryan.
Elswet Addicted to Love delivers more than it promises. The summary for this work was less than inspired, however, the work itself is quite well done. This one has a few twists, a good screen play, and some wonderful dialog. I really enjoyed this one.This is probably one of Broderick's best performances; one among many. He was sincere, fresh, and utterly believable. Meg Ryan also contributed her usual stellar performance. I've never seen a single movie of hers, which did not allow me to enjoy her performance...yes, even In The Cut.This was a "black" rom/com, which is something of a unique occurrence. It is also a bittersweet, chaotic mess, but then again, so is life. I found it very refreshing.It rates a 7.6/10 from...the Fiend :.
Jon W I apologize if this is more about Meg Ryan than the movie but I just saw this flick for the first time tonight despite meaning to check it out for years frankly. I just expected more from Meg Ryan -- more from her career to be honest.She plays her standard semi-bimbo, semi-slick and yet semi-alluring chick with little substance and not much thought it seems for how her dialogue progresses -- DOA and the Presidio some to mind. Her career is chock full of meaningful characters that defined themselves with any number of strong emotional traits. Even her small supporting role in Top Gun was incredibly well done, despite the arguably contrived and cheesy nature of the film (you have to admit -- cheese doesn't get better). She was electric in that movie -- Harry Met Sally of course is another. You felt her true emotion. I'm a hetero male so it takes a lot of soul-searching to write something bad about Meg. LOL. I just think she's a little one dimensional in a lot of her films and Addicted to Love is one of them. I have no idea what her character is truly thinking in most scenes and what her motivation is. I think that a lot of her troubles are poor script choices. But no one is forcing her.I would skip it or wait for cable.
nancylibra9 The obsessive nature of romantic love, the ardor and persistence of rejected suitors are highly complementary to the intensity of life in Manhattan, the setting. Of course, the setting is also appropriate for the idea of spying through windows. Haven't we all yearned for the love object and ridiculously obsessed about them after failing in romance? The ingenuity of invention displayed by the characters played by Meg Ryan, the more radical of the two, and Matthew Broderick, who appears the more normal one to the mainstream audience, is very amusing. Griffin Dunne showed wonderful taste in directing this movie. It's interesting, witty, and the production values are good.
