Good-natured astronomer Sam is devastated when the love of his life leaves him for a suave Frenchman.

This is not a chick film. Actually it's more of a guy film, and probably why it got so many bad reviews and rating, and why a movie so great could be so under-appreciated. Some women who will see this film will see a guy being dumped trying to win the girl back and obsessing about her will immediately feel disgusted and say "Ewwww! What a creep!" They just don't understand what real love is in real life and how complicated it is for guys, especially nice guys. Let me explain - This movie is a Romantic movie with comedy in it, people in love, however ITs a Dark romantic film, it's realistic kind of love, not the one that we are usually are being fed with by most romantic chick films. This movie is about betrayal, obsession and what love is really all about. If you are a guy who ever experienced being dumped or rejected by women after trying so hard to be a nice guy and win a girl heart with love, kindness and basically being a doormat and have your heart broken - This is the movie you must see. Because We all have a little Sam in us who wants to believe in true love, sometimes we are a bit hung up on past lovers and we all stalked our ex's, if it's on Facebook or through friends, and sometimes we still want to love that special someone that dumped us and we are positive that person will realize the mistake he has done and come running back... This is why this movie is so unique, a movie that will leave a mark on you after you watch it.I've first watched it when I was just a kid, and 12 years later I still remember it and have to watch it again and again… I hope you enjoy this movie as much as I did.

Addicted to Love delivers more than it promises. The summary for this work was less than inspired, however, the work itself is quite well done. This one has a few twists, a good screen play, and some wonderful dialog. I really enjoyed this one.This is probably one of Broderick's best performances; one among many. He was sincere, fresh, and utterly believable. Meg Ryan also contributed her usual stellar performance. I've never seen a single movie of hers, which did not allow me to enjoy her performance...yes, even In The Cut.This was a "black" rom/com, which is something of a unique occurrence. It is also a bittersweet, chaotic mess, but then again, so is life. I found it very refreshing.It rates a 7.6/10 from...the Fiend :.

I hate it when people write things like "wasn't realistic". When did a movie have to be realistic? It's about fantasy and entertainment and those looking for something realistic should check out the documentary section of the video store! This was a very cute dark comedy about love lost. I thought Meg Ryan and Matthew Brodrick were great together! Oh! and the things they did! The restaurant scene alone gave me gasp. Talk about going in for the kill! I would have given the movie a 10 but it did get slow towards the middle and I would have liked a little more explanation into Kelly Preston's character Linda. Like why wouldn't she just tell Sam in her letter that she met someone else and was in love? Well then I guess if she had then we wouldn't have the charming, funny, kind of disturbed movie that we got.

This is one of the best romantic comedies I have seen in a long time. "Addicted to Love" is unusual, surprising, and - above all - very funny. The acting by all the four main characters is outstanding. I loved the movie because it has all the ingredients of a great romantic comedy with a cute couple and a long find-your-love story, but it adds to it some wit. This is a very fun movie to watch! The fantastic soundtrack makes the movie even better. I bought the soundtrack even before I had seen the movie because I liked listening to it so much in the Munich store where I found it. This truly is romantic comedy at its best. I just have to tell you that again! :-D
