Leave your thoughts about I Love Trouble.
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenThe stars, Nolte and Roberts are likable and there is some chemistry between them, but that isn't enough to elevate this material to an above-average product. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThis unsnappy vehicle lets its two stars down, individually and as a team. |
| TIME MagazineRichard CorlissJulia Roberts is the oddest of star commodities in Hollywood: a Lamborghini that few people know how to drive. |
| New YorkerMichael SragowIt's like the worst possible Newman-Redford vehicle: the script reduces the stars to twinkling mannequins, and their chemistry barely rises to the buddy-buddy level. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranA reminder of the difference between exhilaration and exhaustion, between tension and hysteria, between eroticism and exhibitionism. The line may be fine, but it is real enough to separate the great thrillers from the also-rans. And Basic Instinct is not a great thriller. |
| Radio TimesDavid ParkinsonIf you can get your head round the idea of Julia Roberts as a ruthlessly ambitious newspaper reporter, then there's plenty to enjoy in this frivolous comedy thriller. |
| People MagazineLeah RozenStraight out of the His Girl Friday school of newspaper romances, Trouble is anemically formulaic and completely uninspired. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe film is like a crossword puzzle. It keeps your interest until you solve it. Then it's just a worthless scrap with the spaces filled in. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyWhat we have here is a movie with not just one, but a family pack of psychos. |
| Seattle TimesJohn HartlGeneric as its title, I Love Trouble is like a Xerox of a copy of a facsimile. |
