Typical... but different
12 July 2005
Addicted To Love is the predictable story of a boy meets girl, boy loses girl etc etc. But then there's the whole delightful set up of spying and sabotaging someone else's relationship with an unlikely partner.

Matthew Broderick plays the typical nice guy with lovely ideals and a desperation that's funny to watch. I love the Milkyway Man's tee-shirt. Also loved the "What's your name?"/"Mike."/"What's your name, Mike?"/"Sam." lines! Meg Ryan is great in a different role; this time someone who's hardened by a broken heart and closed to new relationships.

I loved that our protagonists were also antagonists, that no one was really what they seemed in the first place. Overall, the movie was so enjoyable but I think lacked some indeterminable thing that could've made it more than just a video store hit.
