I Love Trouble 1948

Gene Siskel, Chicago Tribune: Again and again, the I Love Trouble script takes us deeper and deeper into the machinations of a high-tech company when what we want to see is Nolte and Roberts outfox each other. Read more

Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: No one expects movies like this one, set as it is in the largely mythological world of fiercely competitive daily newspapering, to be realistic. But neither should they be as flaccid and unconvincing as what we are presented with here. Read more

Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel: Is there chemistry between Roberts and Nolte? Not really. This by-the-numbers production is more like math than chemistry. Read more

Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer: Trouble is a sampler of the kind of roles Roberts and Nolte should play more often. Read more

John Hartl, Seattle Times: Generic as its title, I Love Trouble is like a Xerox of a copy of a facsimile. Read more

Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine: Julia Roberts is the oddest of star commodities in Hollywood: a Lamborghini that few people know how to drive. Read more

Caryn James, New York Times: I Love Trouble is breezy summer escapism, and taken on those light-spirited terms it is loaded with charm. Read more

Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader: Roberts and Nolte seem to go together like oil and water, and the convoluted conspiracy-crime plot keeps them a lot more occupied than us. Read more

Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: This unsnappy vehicle lets its two stars down, individually and as a team. Read more

Michael Sragow, New Yorker: It'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. Read more

James Berardinelli, ReelViews: I Love Trouble is a perfect example of a truly lightweight motion picture. Read more

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Maybe it would have been funnier if the evil cow conglomerate had been replaced by something sillier and more lightweight; it's hard to sustain a romantic comedy in the face of death threats. Read more

Tom Charity, Time Out: It's smug and glossy, sparkling as tap water, and -- when it finally decides it's a suspense picture - tense as an arthritic earthworm. Read more

Todd McCarthy, Variety: The goings-on seem lacking in wit and inspiration, tolerably entertaining but far from effervescent. Read more

Rita Kempley, Washington Post: It's as bland as its title, which really should be attached to a Disney cat movie. Read more
