Synopsis
When his childhood sweetheart leaves him for another man, astronomer Sam (Matthew Broderick) rents the flat opposite her apartment, in order to spy on her. The man his lost love Linda (Kelly Preston) has taken up with is Aton (Tcheky Karyo), who has in turn dumped his own fiancée - photographer Maggie (Meg Ryan), who now wants revenge. Maggie teams up with Sam to launch a campaign against Aton and Linda, with hilarious consequences.
Critics' reviews
- "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"
- A desperately misbegotten screwball comedy."
- "It is always a problem in a love story when the rival seems more interesting than the hero, and that's what happens here"
