Actor-director Griffin Dunne made his filmmaking debut with this ethically ambiguous and not-very-funny movie about a pair of jilted lovers (Meg Ryan and Matthew Broderick) who conspire to break up a relationship between their ex-sweethearts (Tcheky Karyo and Kelly Preston). Part classic screwball comedy, part nightmare along the lines of Martin Scorsese's After Hours (in which Dunne starred), part tribute to Hitchcock's Rear Window, Addicted to Love is all over the map and seriously hampered by the sheer, unwarranted nastiness aimed at the innocent characters played by Karyo and Preston. The DVD release includes production notes, original theatrical trailer, optional widescreen and standard formats, and optional French and Spanish soundtracks. --Tom Keogh

 There's no way to talk yourself out of 'dumped.' September 27, 2008
Elspeth Fahey (Darkest Wales)
As the title of this review indicates, this is one of the lessons they don't teach in school, and this is precisely what the film explores. Once the realization has been made that there is no way to return to the way things were, then the anger sets in, and in the case of this film the bar is continually raised by the two protagonists on ways to exact vengeance, to entertaining - and possibly cathartic - effect for the viewer.
It is wittily written, smoothly directed and edited, lovely to look at and features a camera obscura. It is also one of the most European films I have ever seen come out of America - definitely to its credit. It is dark and light in all the right places and the actors (particularly Karyo, who is always a pleasure to watch) are right on form. Much has been made of the treatment meted out to "poor Anton," yet no one is entirely innocent in this film. That is one of its liberating joys.
All in all, one of the more important comedies of the 90's.
 Pointless . . August 19, 2008
L. K. Elmore (Pacific Northwest)
What a mess of a movie - Matthew Broderick is SO much better than this waste of time. Just a totally pointless movie. Well as long as Meg Ryan got in her little "dance" she does in every single one of her movies, I guess all is not lost.
 Obsession in a funny way. May 18, 2008
ADRIENNE MILLER (TENNESSEE)
Addicted to Love starring Meg Ryan and Matthew Broderick is a predictable romantic comedy. The acting is good but these poor pathetic characters are so obsessed with their ex's, it kinda freaks me out how far they will go to get them back. Kelly Preston is the object of affection to Broderick's character, he then starts a quriky friendship with Ryan's character and they eventually end falling for each other. Addicted to Love is fun at times but not the best I have seen in this genre, pretty much a mixed bag.
Great movie April 6, 2008
Holly (Orange County, CA.)
I remembered seeing this movie years ago...So when I saw it on Amazon I bought it and I remembered why I liked it, When you break up with someone you want to mess them up and in this movie this is exactly what they do! : )
