I Love You to Death

Alisan Porter, Heather Graham, Jack Kehler, James Gammon, Joan Plowright

This spotty black comedy from Lawrence Kasdan (The Big Chill)--based on a true story--stars Kevin Kline as a womanizing pizzeria owner whose mousy wife (Tracey Ullman) tries multiple ways of murdering...( read more  read more... ) him with the aid of sundry friends and hired hands. The film never picks up the necessary momentum or develops the necessary tone to drive it, and one is left picking and choosing which of the performers is at least adequately entertaining. Kline is good but perhaps a bit too theatrical, and Joan Plowright is hilarious as his mother-in-law. The funniest joke in the whole thing belongs to William Hurt and Keanu Reeves as deeply-stoned, would-be-killers who emerge from a taxi and look as if they can't remember what planet they're on. --Tom Keogh

    Black comedy with a great cast about a wife who tries to kill her husband after she catches him having an affair.

    I Love You To Death tells a -true- story about a cheating husband trying to be knock off by his wife. Kevin Kline is excellent in this modest, very well-cast, though not entirely successful black comedy about a betrayed woman (Tracey Ullman) and her mother Joan Plowright trying t...( read more)o kill husband Kline with the help of friend River Phoenix and nutty blokes Keanu Reeves and William Hurt. Every character is a different character, and that is partly what makes this movie so funny, it's like a commune of different personalities put in a certain situation, and what is funny is the way in which they each try to deal with it. I Love You to Death includes many of the best elements of the blackest comedies you will ever see, but without leaving you with a bitter aftertaste.

    An unfunny farce starring unfunny comedienne Tracy Ullman who keeps trying and failing to kill her unfaithful husband, played like a sitcom character by Kevin Kline. Only Keanu Reeves and William Hurt's inept stoners raise a smile, and it's got a real feeling of desperation about...( read more) it. And the fact it's based on a true story seems rather tasteless.

    I loved this film, what a terrific cast. Joan Plowright is superb and hysterically funny! Well written, enjoyable throughout. I was always entertained. The cast really makes it work, and the offbeat casting works amazingly well. Nicely directed.

    How crazy is it that this is a true story! When it came out, i saw them all on Oprah, and they were all as funny as the characters in here.
