Movie Reviews of Mad Love

Movie Review: Chris O'Donnells best performance thus far
Summary: 4 Stars

This movie is very action pack and is a must see for Chris O'Donnell fans. Chris O'Donnell and Drew Barrymore have good on screen chemistry, but it is Chris O'Donnell who steals the show and captivates the audience. The are many funny line and although it sort of drags right before the end, the plot does pick up and the audience walks away happy. More of the chick fick than a guy film, but very intelectually stimulating.

Movie Review: not clinical depression
Summary: 4 Stars

I think Drew is portraying a person with schizophrenic tendencies with the over sensitivity to sounds and pasting the eyes on the walls... I think it is a good depiction of the seriousness of these illnesses, it is not that she is playing a person filled with passion and rebellion, but someone who is trying to run from the fear of this illness...

Movie Review: Mad love: not as good as i had hoped
Summary: 3 Stars

This film had terrible music. The Plot was great but Paula Milne (screenwriter) didn't expoler the millions of different (and better) twists and turns that the chacters could have taken. This movie was supposed to resemble the "edgy" teen movies of the 1980's and it doesn't. The parents in the movie are portrayed as the bad guys which is very typical of teen movies. Chris O'Donell who is a talented actor does his best to work with so little and remains one of the few shining light in a very dark film. Drew Barrymore plays the same part she plays in almost every one of her movies only this time her chacter has a mentel illness. The only good thing about her preformence was her and O'Donell's great chemestry.

Movie Review: Light Weight Teen Trash with a dash of charm.
Summary: 3 Stars

The previous viewer was right "adults will think it's stupid" I'm an adult and I think it was stupid. Maybe a teenage girl would enjoy it but unfortunately it really is a very shallow look at mental illness. It's also kind of slow and boring. A movie filled with cliches about mental illness. The thing with all the eyes has been done so many times and what real mentally ill person has ever done that.
Then she's diagnosed just with depression? What about all her manic episodes.
That Chris What-his-name was a big yawn and
even the gorgeous, talented, charming, exqisite Drew Barrymore couldn't save this sinking ship.

Movie Review: Casey is NOT clinically depressed.
Summary: 3 Stars

This movie is cute, but not factual. I always worry when I see mental illnesses treated as interchangeable. Drew Barrymore's character Casey exhibits class bipolar symptoms, which include irrational thoughts, suicidal depression, and wild mood swings going from risk taking mania to the immobility of depression. I just wish they'ed been able to portray it for what it was. Of course making a movie about clinical depression symptoms wouldn't have involved the car stealing and drama. Just lots of Drew sitting in her room, unable to muster the energy to find Chris O'Donnell interesting. Not as good a movie, I suppose.
