Film Review - Addicted
October 10, 2014
Although its marketing suggests a continuation of Tyler Perry’s “Temptation,” “Addicted” has more in common with an Adrian Lyne effort. The film marks a breakthrough for author Zane, an “urban eroticist” who’s built an empire on sex, evolving from books to pay cable programs, placing emphasis on soft-core antics involving inquisitive characters. “Addicted” is based on her 1998 novel and takes a slightly more severe look at the needs of the heart and the urgencies of the mind, wrapped up in a ridiculous melodrama that’s confused and shameless. If one squints hard enough, all the nudity and grinding might retain appeal, but for those who can’t switch their brain off, the picture is maddeningly inconsistent and comically performed.
