Pros: Some funny moments. Cons: Ridiculous story showing people at their worst.
A good romantic comedy has two main components: A decent amount of humor and main characters that we care about, and want to see together. This second component is really where Addicted To Love< b> fails. I hated both main characters - so much so that ...

Pros: Tchéky Karyo (Anton), hilariously funny, romantic Cons: Ending falls short a tiny bit for such a perfect movie.
This movie was released in 1997, and nearly grossed a dismal $35 million; it received no awards, yet this is one of the greatest movies ever in my opinion. The movie is so dark, but with such belly laughs that it's hard to worry about the evil doing ...

Pros: Revenge has never been so funny! Cons: Okay, so Ryan and Broderick lack chemistry ...
... but in a good way, of course.
I didn't see this one on the big screen and it's one I think I SHOULD have. We rented this flick the other night while on vacation and we laughed for two hours straight.
Meg Ryan stars with Matthew...

Pros: Some truly hilarious moments, Meg Ryan as a leather-wearing bitter chick Cons: first 10 minutes, last 10 minutes
I rented this movie, so all of you who thought I was going to bemoan spending $7 on it so long ago can rest assured--I wasn't quite that dumb.
The first ten minutes of the movie are really bad. In fact it's best if you like, read my review, or...

Pros: The Restaurant Scene Cons: To much vindictiveness
"Addicted to Love" should have been named "Vindictive--In Love". Meg Ryan is not quite believable as a jilted lover who plots with Matthew Broderick to break up the couple now formed by their former lovers.
Together they...

Pros: you jest Cons: actors, director, you name it
The first ten minutes of Addicted to Love take great pains to establish the idyllic life of a small-town astronomer named Sam (Matthew Broderick). Sam makes monumental discoveries in the stars and has a sweet romance with Linda (Kelly Preston), a local...

Pros: Funny script, good chemistry between Broderick and Ryan. Cons: Some over-the-top moments, not exactly believable.
ADDICTED TO LOVE is a movie that allows the audience to indulge in a fantasy those of us who aren't clinically insane rarely get to fulfill in real life – revenge on a lover who's truly screwed us over. What keeps it from ever resorting into true...

Pros: Cute, funny Cons: none
I've seen this movie several times and enjoyed it every time.
It's about this guy, Sam, (played by Mathew Broderick)who is in love with his steady girlfriend, Linda, (Kelly Preston) and she has to go away to NYC for work for a few months....

Pros: Humor, appealing protagonists Cons: Too much coincidence
Matthew Broderick plays a young man whose girlfriend leaves him for a more exciting life in New York. He follows her there and begins obsessively spying on her from an abandoned building across the street. Logging every detail of her relationship with...

Pros: fresh twist on a tired genre Cons: gets a bit too mean spirited at times
A film about twisting emotions... yours! In the beginning we feel sorry for Sam (the endearing Matthew Broderick), who's just been dumped by his fiance (the dear John letter is read to him by her dad). We empathize with him as he flies to New York to...

Pros: Interesting 1990s twist on "lovers scorned." Cons: Maybe a little slow in places, and an occasional awkwardness.
This is a cute romantic comedy with an edge. Or, it seems to have an edge. With Meg Ryan, how big of an edge could it be? (You'll see . . .)
Ryan and Matthew Broderick are brought together through a common interest - spying on their exes....

Pros: Meg Ryan is hot, movie is really funny, good date movie... Cons: Didn't care too much for the ending myself, but won't give that away
Revenge is always sweet, and it is even sweeter with a beautiful woman is the one who is doing it!
Quick, not too descriptive plot summary for you, and this is all you are gonna get out of me cause I am not going to ruin the movie for...

Pros: The credits Cons: the movie
I wish I hadn't seen this movie. It was so terrible. From the previews, I thought this might be a cute, romantic comedy, but it was anything but that.
The movie is all about how Meg Ryan and Matthew Broderick want to get revenge on their...

Pros: not one gosh-darned thing Cons: stupid, stupid, stupid... and did I mention stupid?
When a movie's just plain bad, there's no point in beating around the bush. This movie was just plain bad. Not in the hip, amusing way that some movies can be, camping their way into cult obsessions... noooo, this movie takes mediocrity to its...

Pros: Meg, great plot Cons: a little slow but hurries to catch up
This is one of the better Meg Ryan movies, with Matthew Broderick as the love interest (this is pre-Inspector Gadget). The ploy is innovative, two lovers have been dumped by their significant others for one another. Kelly Preston plays Matthew's love...
