Amazon.com video review:
Actor-director Griffin Dunne made his filmmaking debut with
this ethically ambiguous and not-very-funny movie about a pair of
jilted lovers (Meg Ryan and Matthew Broderick) who conspire to break
up a relationship between their ex-sweethearts (Tchéky Karyo
and Kelly Preston). Part classic screwball comedy, part nightmare
along the lines of Martin Scorsese's After Hours (in
which Dunne starred), part tribute to Hitchcock's Rear Window,
Addicted to Love is all over the map and seriously hampered by
the sheer, unwarranted nastiness aimed at the innocent characters
played by Karyo and Preston. The DVD release includes production
notes, original theatrical trailer, optional widescreen and standard
formats, and optional French and Spanish soundtracks. --Tom
