I decided to make the most of the last day without my boys and sat down to watch a good chick flick! Addicted to Love is one which I have seen in Tesco?s on many occasions but decided not to buy as it is not my hubby?s sort of film. I am please to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Addicted to Love is a romantic comedy featuring two extremely amiable stars. Meg Ryan and Matthew Broderick are both competent, inoffensive stars, who (generally) make competent inoffensive movies.

I loved this movie. Meg Ryan was awesome in it. Meg Ryan and Matthew Broderick make a great team. If you ever need revenge or help getting back an exlover this is your team! The sets where great and the story line was one of the best I have seen in quite some time. If your looking for a good love story with plenty of laughs--this is the one. The two of them teamed up makes for a great revenge scheme, some of the things they will do is hilarious. This is another of Meg Ryans movies where she pulls out all the stops on her attire and hairstyles! Get ready to laugh and cheer them on as they try ... more
