Movie Reviews of Mad Love
Movie Review: great movie. drews best one.
Summary: 5 Stars
it sounds kinda dry in the text but its a great movie. boy next door type almost sanitarily clean matt. his mothers dead and hes kind of taken on her role as a second parent to his little brother and little sister. the little brother has athsma and the kids are two little pestering younger siblings. very convincing. matt has a best friend (played by matthew lillard, man whatever happened to that guy) one day they see casey(drew barrymore) getting agrivated with her trunk and matt falls in love on the spot. hes very "white bread" and casey is not. she has a wildness about her which matt needs. matt has a innocence and stability about him that casey needs. after a fight with her parents which threatens to take her away from matt casey attempts suicide and is sent to a mental institution where matt busts her out. its a road film. casey got to know matt before the hospital and on the road matt learns that theres alot more to casey than he took to heart. casey is mentally ill (schitzophrenic, clinically depressed... i dunno) he loves her deeply but he knows that he doesnt have the knowledge to help her other than to love her (which he does unconditionally). its a spiral of events leading to a melt down basically. its a fun movie to watch. its not depressing though it is sad. the characters are so colorful and it is set in seatle during the grunge age (man i miss those days, and the music). if you love drew barrymore movies or chris o donnel (which i do in both cases) then get this movie. dont psycho analize it just get it. i never get tired of it and jump to the chase and get the soundtrack too because as soon as you watch the movie your just gonna order it too anyway. its a time capsule. great music for anyone who was a teenager in the grunge days.Movie Review: An underrated gem!
Summary: 5 Stars
This film is about a high schooler named Matt (Chris O'Donnell) who has a crush on free spirited Casey (Drew Barrymore), so he finally gets the guts to ask her out, and they go to a punk rock concert together. They start to really like each other, and become boyfriend and girlfriend. One night, Matt sees Casey fighting with her parents, and she tells Matt that her father thinks Matt is a bad influence and that her father doesn't want Matt to see her anymore. Sooner or later, Matt hears that Casey has been put in the hospital, due to the fact that she tried to commit suicide by taking sleeping pills. Matt helps her escape, and the two lovebirds take a road trip against parental wishes. Along their way to Mexico, they encounter a sellsman who tries to hit on Casey, and Casey begins to experience depression episodes again. Matt learns that Casey is Bi-Polar, and he tries to comfort her the only way he knows how. He decides his only option is to get her help, so he decides to call her parents. She attempts to commit suicide again, telling Matt that she doesn't want to be sick anymore and that she doesn't want to be locked up. Matt talks her out of it, and they return home, so that Casey can recieve medical treatment. This film may or may not sound interesting, but it's a great film nevertheless. Drew Barrymore and Chris O'Donnell give excellent performances. Recommended.Movie Review: A movie for true romantics

Ah...mad love. This movie was on HBO ON DEMAND and I decided to watch it one lazy summer day. I really got into it, mainly because I felt like I could relate to some of the things in the movie. Drew Bareymore plays a great role, as a depressed teen trying to break the habit and find love. She does..but her parents don't approve of the young man who lives across the lake...you know the deal. They run away and "try" to make it on their own. She can't deal with being away because she really is mentally ill and the tears started to flow because she ends up in a hospital writing letters to him at the end. God! I cried and cried and cried! Tragic love story...definately add it to your collection today.Movie Review: Mental illness doesn't have an ugly face
Summary: 5 Stars
Drew Barrymore's performance as an overprotected, free spirit tortured by mental illness is very real. As her character unfolded, I completely recognized myself prior to my bipolar diagnosis. I watched the beautiful, young Casey (Barrymore) teeter between mania and depression. I watched her hurt the people who loved her most. I watched her ruin her life. It was difficult for me to watch this movie, but I highly recommend it to anyone affected by bipolar disorder, whether yourself or someone you love.Movie Review: Drew Barrymore's best movie
Summary: 4 Stars
...and probably chris o'donnel's best movie too. IT starts off as a very enjoyable movie at first, then it peels away it's cover to show a very sirious side. And in the process Drew Barrymore's acting is fantastic. If only she stayed that way instead of making worthless unmentionables like Charlies Angels. ANd Chris Odonnel is along for the ride. His quiet tempermental acting shouldn't work with Drew's fierce character, but somehow it does. The only complaint is that Odonnel is usually the same in all of his movies, and this one doesn't change. His just like he was in Scent of a Woman, but he's still enjoyable. A movie fan's favorite.
