It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Yes, although Heather Graham is indeed in very little of this movie, it still makes my list (and I hate almost everything) for one of the very best comedy movies ever made. I was introduced to this movie by my best friend and barber, and every time it comes on Showtime I am compelled to watch - it never gets old. Chock full of shock humor and one-liners, it has never failed to bring down the house, no matter who I show it to.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. That being said, be warned that if you are truly a fan of black comedy, you may find the ending a bit disappointing. One of Kevin Kline's best, and a showcase for the talents of the one and only Tracy Ullman. Also starring River Phoenix, Joan Plowman, and Keanu Reeves in a typical role for this stage of his career. A longtime favorite of mine and everyone I know (or if it's not, it will be).

I Love You to Death is based on the true story of a woman who's many attempts to have her adulterous husband murdered prove unsuccessful (sort of). Rosalie (Ulman) discovers that her husband, Joey(Klein), a pizza shop owner, is cheating on her. Broken hearted and encouraged by her mother (Plowright), makes plans to bump off that no good husband. So the two women, with the help of her weird, but loyal, new age pizza shop employee (Phoenix), hire a few imbeciles (including cousins Harlan and Marlon--Hurt and Reeves) to do the job. Though the movie morbidly parodies what may not really be something to laugh at, the results are so damn hilarious, making this probably one of the funniest movies I have ever seen -- particularly with Plowright as the sarcastic mother-in-law and Harlan and Marlan as the most dim-witted criminals you've ever seen. Like when Harlan and Marlan are asked to shoot Joey, Harlan says he's going to shoot him in the heart to make it quick. But he can't figure out which side the heart is on. So Marlan suggest reciting the pledge to find out the answer. But they can't even get that right ("...with amber waves of liberty and deliver us from freedom). Or when Marlan says to Harlan "if we keep shooting (Joey), he's going to get suspicious." After a while, you even start to feel sorry for Joey, even if he was a big dumb cheater. It is definitely one hell of an underrated movie. You'll laugh so hard, you'll fart.

I saw this film and to tell you the truth,it is hilarious;Not because My mother is named Rosalie, and the leading actor plays a character from an Italian family(my mom happens to be of Italian descent).The mother in laws in the film really crack me up. One funny scene was when Joey's mom slaps him around as he is suffering in pain at the hospital. Then, she wonders why He fell after she went too far. Plowright is a great actress and is comical as Ullman's mother.Her final line is great "Then,we shoot him". Kline gave a cute line saying "it proves that America was founded by one italian and discovered by another". He is great as the oblivious victim, and you almost feel sorry for him.I had a chuckle watching this film and I own a tape of this one,crazy movie. I recommend it heartily.

I had actauly written a negative review of this one on imdb only a few days ago. By sheer coincidence I saw this movie again about 24 hours after I wrote the review(purely coincidental)I had seen this when it first came out and then seen part of it again and did not like it AT ALL. My main problem was that it seemed contrived, I mean actually the movie kind of made me bewildered, I didn't understand the humer in it.Well, I saw it again, the person I saw it with told me it was based on a true story, this was confirmed by imdb user comments. Knowing that, it changes my views on the movie. I honestly had no idea an incredible event like this ACTUALLY happened and knowing that can view the film differently and understand why so many loved it.I love you to death will never be my favoroite movie but knowing what I do now I can say it's an interesting one(I just wish I'd known the true facts when I saw this years ago).
