Comedy Joey works with Rosalie in their pizza parlor. She is convinced that he works all of the time for them and her world dissolves when she finds that he has been fooling around for years. Being Catholic, divorce is out of the question, so she and her mother and her best friend decide to kill him. Hopelessly incompetent as killers, they hire incompetent professionals as they beat, poison, and shoot Joey who remains oblivious to their attempts. [+]

	Author	Review
United States	Vincent Canby The New York Times	"The best thing about 'I Love You to Death' is that although it fails in other ways, it accommodates Mr. Kline without inhibiting him. The role is a good one"	NEU
United Kingdom	Time Out	"This sketchy comedy sinks beneath the weight of predictability (...) John Kostmayer's script falls back on crude exaggeration, and the result is woefully unfunny."	NEG
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"I am not sure if the film is a success because I am not sure what it is trying to do (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Hal Hinson The Washington Post	"There's a quality of delicacy in Kasdan's approach to the comedy here. Each gag carries its own special weirdness (...) Yet, nice as this may be, the movie lacks an essential dynamism"	NEU
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"[It] is strenuously unclever, and Kasdan has directed it in the same style of tasteful claustrophobia he used for 'The Accidental Tourist'. The more that happens, the more the movie. . .just. . .gets. . .slower."	NEG
