Critic Reviews

  • Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com

    Age difference and lack of chemistry between Nick Nolte and Julia Roberts are just two of many problems that mar this pale imitation (really pastiche) of 40s screwball comedies by Howard Hawks and George Cukor.

  • Steve Crum, Kansas City Kansan

    Fluffy murder mystery-comedy with Roberts and Nolte in fun form.

  • James Sanford, Kalamazoo Gazette

    Neither terribly funny nor convincingly romantic

  • Rob Thomas, Capital Times (Madison, WI)

    Just no chemistry between the leads.

  • Frank Ochieng, TheWorldJournal.com

    A disjointed and tedious action-packed romancer featuring the miscast leads of Nolte and Roberts who toil along in this dull and draining ditty

    I've seen I Love Trouble several times and it never gets old. It is from the early 90s but is a story that is still entertaining today. Nick Nolte and Julia Roberts play competing reporters at different newspapers in Chicago. When a major story breaks, they both compete to scoop… More

    I thought this movie was funny and clever. This movie is great to watch when you got nothing better to do. The only reason I watched it was because of Nolte and Roberts but the movie isn't one of my favorites.
