Lovesick

(2014) ★½

Sky Movies Premiere: PREMIERE Friday 2 October, 8am and 6.15pm

Matt LeBlanc’s screen career post Joey Tribbiani has been virtually undetectable and the synthetic romcom Lovesick won’t be winning him any new friends. He’s elementary school principal Charlie Darby, a paranoid man allergic to love – intimacy drives him insane. Not in any noticably amusing way, more creepy and psychotic.

Dancer Ali Larter is looking for a stable relationship, so clearly she’s dating the wrong guy. Or the right one, if what’s intended is a weakly contrived neurotic sitcom ideally suited to the Diva channel. Except for the Chevy Chase character. He’s LeBlanc’s porn-loving neighbour, reduced to Forrest Hump gags.
