आलोचक समीक्षाएं

The result is an actor's dream, a film in which the truth of almost every scene has to be excavated out of the debris of social inhibition.

The result is a one-joke movie.

More problematical is the tone of the film, which attempts to be both compassionate and goofy, though the events are funny only if they are seen as farcical.

Despite its mixture of macabre slapstick and broadly stroked caricatures, the film has sleepy-time rhythms; it's easily the pokiest farce I've ever seen.

Lawrence Kasdan directed this fair-to-middling black comedy from a script by John Kostmayer, and although the pacing is sluggish in spots, people with a taste for acting as impersonation will enjoy some of the scenery chewing.

Based on an allegedly true story, this is a dark comedy that begins with a charmingly light touch.... Alas, it's when the tale stays murderous, amateur night dragging into amateur day, that the picture loses both its energy and its edge. [09 Apr 1990]

Kasdan has inexplicably reduced flesh-and-blood characters to cartoons.

I Love You to Death is strenuously unclever.

I Love You to Death lacks the precision, ferocity and guts needed for black farce.

I Love You to Death is a stillborn attempt at black comedy.
