Addicted to Love

A Comedy About Lost Loves And Last Laughs

1997100 min6.2 / 10

A romantic comedy built on the absurdity of obsessive love and voyeuristic revenge, balancing genuine affection with the darker impulses of jealousy and sabotage.

Good-natured astronomer Sam is devastated when the love of his life leaves him for a suave Frenchman. He therefore does what every other normal dumpee would do — go to New York and set up home in the abandoned building opposite his ex-girlfriend's apartment, wait until she decides to leave her current lover, and then win her back.
