Addicted to Love movie review

Addicted to Love (1997)

An astronomer named Sam (Matthew Broderick) is in love with Linda. In the beginning of the movie, Linda goes to New York for a bit, and she ends up leaving Sam for a Frenchman named Anton. Sam decides to go to New York in order to attempt to win Linda back. He sets up home in an abandoned building opposite his ex-girlfriend's apartment. Several weeks after he has set everything up, a very hostile woman named Maggie (Meg Ryan) arrives. Maggie is Anton's ex-fiance, and she's out for revenge. Together, they team up to attempt to separate the couple, and ruin Anton's life. I mostly wanted to see this movie because of Meg Ryan. Personally, I wasn't entirely impressed with this movie. The acting was good, but there was one main thing that bothered me a lot. The thing that bothered me the most is that Sam took up an abandoned building as his temporary home for a few months. That just seemed odd, and slightly stalker-ish. He would watch her every move. It just seemed creepy. Other than that, I didn't think that it was a bad movie, but it wasn't as good as what I was expecting it to be.

I gave this movie 6/10 stars on imdb.com.
