Metacritic-Rezensionen

A deliciously nasty, dark comedy.

It's a tribute to Robert Gordon's nifty screenplay and Dunne's cheerful way with digression that Addicted to Love, even as it broadens into screwball, also deepens into a character study full of surprising left turns.

One of the most inventive romantic comedies to come around in some while.

Ryan and Broderick, while individually first-rate, don't combine as sexily as they ought, making the inevitable outcome a little too pat in an otherwise genre-bucking affair.

Has the same relationship to the dark emotions it glosses that Disneyland's Jungleboat Cruise ride has to an actual excursion down the Amazon.

Ryan's abrasive and rather creepy character is something of a departure for her.

It is always a problem in a love story when the rival seems more interesting than the hero, and that's what happens here.

The story is as contrived as it is comical.

Commits the cardinal sin of too many modern movies: It never gives the audience a clue why any of these people were ever attracted to one another in the first place. [30 May 1997, p. 54]

Ms. Ryan's lean, eagle-eyed golden girl is enough to curdle milk.
