A Thin Line Between Love and Hate
Darnell Wright has a way with the ladies both figuratively and literally. Darnell begins to feel like he hit the jackpot when he meets Brandi, who starts off playing hard to get, until eventually gives in to Darnell's advances. But when Darnell begins to form a stable and committed relationship with Mia he immediately tosses other relationships with a few other women, including Brandi. Brandi immediately becomes unstable and will do anything to exact revenge on him.

[Lawrence] doesn't seem to know that his protagonist is a deceptive, frivolous, fast-talking and surprisingly stupid womanizer.

The screenplay is credited to four writers, and its unevenness argues that none of them were on the same wavelength.

[Lawrence is] a charming, gifted comic with a killer smile, but he's way out of his depth in this Fatal Attraction knockoff, which he also co-wrote and stars in.

Any movie with a bar called Chocolate City can't be all bad, right?
January 12, 2004
A ponderous vanity project that is unfunny and, worst of all, just plain boring.

Tiresome stuff, bearable only if you can overlook the questionable premise and find something to like in Lawrence's Eddie Murphy-lite turn.
February 09, 2006
The script lacks wit and depth, while Lawrence's direction is meandering and undramatic, full of showy, over-elaborate camera movements.

In showing the importance of monogamy, the film is profound enough that it could lead couples to reevaluate themselves; women will look at their new men a bit more quizzically, and men will be less likely to say "I love you" unless they mean it.

Too serious to be a comedy, too flippant to be a thriller, it often feels like a backhanded act of penance for the misogynist humor in the star's comedy act.

A Thin Line Between Love and Hate takes its name from the Persuaders 1971 hit that has been re-recorded by the Pretenders, Annie Lennox and H-Town. You could have just as much fun simply playing one of them and skipping the movie.

Sluggishly paced and too seldom funny...

A thin line? Not in this case.
