Misanthropic, cruel, hostile, corrupt, blasphemous and basically pretty evil. I loved it.

Ryan has an edge that is extremely becoming…This is her best work yet.

This twisted romance possesses the soul and edgy atmosphere of an independent film but not quite the conviction.

Karyo -- a big star in France but little known in this country -- has Steve Martin's knack for keeping his dignity while doing outrageous slapstick.

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.

Warm performances that result in hilarity without guilt.

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

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 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.

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.

A fine--but not entirely uninteresting—mess. [2 Jun 1997, p. 74]
