Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Biswajit Tripathy Meg Ryan has always been my favorite actress for her spontaneous acting. The best of hers was always "You Have got mail", and "Sleepless in Seattle". But "Addicted to Love" sets a new standard about her.This is the story about two pairs of lovers played by Maggie-Anton and Sam-Linda. Story starts with both of them being dropped by their respective partners for each other.Both Sam and Maggie have been dropped by their respective partners for each other. And they must work together to reunite with their respective partners. Both of them tried to ruin Anton's life who is the ex boy friend of Maggie so that they can separate the couple. But while doing so, unknowingly they fall for each other.A plain and simple love story presented so well that it can be watched again and again. A romantic comedy about obsession, possessiveness. Both Sam played by Matthew Broderick and Maggie played by Meg Ryan have done justice to their role. However, Anton played by Tcheky Karyo has done a tremendous role too.

www-tal 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.

robertlangella This is a romantic comedy with a rather hard edge, or, to put it differently, a European-style farce with a too cushy ending.Apparently, this film was conceived as a Meg Ryan vehicle, i.e. as a product suitable for her established screen persona. This was a mistake. The cast choice (and the marketing) make the outcome of the film blatantly obvious and that takes away too much suspense from the viewing experience. Also, the film makers did not have the courage to bring the misfortunes heaped upon Anton Depeaux (played very well by Tcheky Karyo) to their logical conclusion. It's designed as a chick-flick and thus everyone's gotta be happy at the end. A more emotionally ambiguous ending could have turned this into something special.
