When someone is addicted to love, anything is possible. That is the underlying message of this romantic comedy with more than a touch of weirdness. Addicted To Love (on August 8 at 9 pm) on HBO revolves around Sam (Mathew Broderick), a naive romantic, who is an astronomer from a small town. Maggie (Meg Ryan), a worldly-wise cynic, is a photographer from New York. Strangers and poles apart, what the two have in common is an obsession with their respective lovers who’ve just jilted them and left them heart-broken. The two are now blissfully sharing an apartment. They embark upon a diabolically funny scheme of revenge. Yet their plans unexpectedly begin going awry as the relationships between the four characters evolve in a way none of them could ever have imagined. — NF
