United States | The Washington Post | "It's a movie that has nothing nice to say about anybody. Far from the romp its ads make it appear to be, it's misanthropic, cruel, hostile, corrupt, blasphemous and basically pretty evil. I loved it." | POS |
United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "It is always a problem in a love story when the rival seems more interesting than the hero, and that's what happens here. (...) There is, in fact, a lot of good stuff here, but it's all at the service of an imbecilic approach. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)" | NEU |
United States | ReelViews | "A deliciously nasty, dark comedy." | POS |
United States | LA Weekly | !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" | POS |
United States | The New Yorker | A desperately misbegotten screwball comedy." | NEG |
United States | Austin Chronicle | "One of the most inventive romantic comedies to come around in some while." | POS |
United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "It is always a problem in a love story when the rival seems more interesting than the hero, and that's what happens here" | POS |
United States | Time | "A fine--but not entirely uninteresting—mess" | NEU |
United States | Entertainment Weekly | "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" | NEG |
