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.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Trouble is a sampler of the kind of roles Roberts and Nolte should play more often.
Generic as its title, I Love Trouble is like a Xerox of a copy of a facsimile.
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.
Is there chemistry between Roberts and Nolte? Not really. This by-the-numbers production is more like math than chemistry.
