Reviews for A Thin Line Between Love and Hate
Sexual stereotyping provides the grist for much of Martin Lawrence's humor and, for the most part, it's on target.
01/01/00
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.
06/05/02
Tiresome stuff, bearable only if you can overlook the questionable premise and find something to like in Lawrence's Eddie Murphy-lite turn.
08/12/09
Martin Lawrence bites off a bit more than he can chew with his four roles in this haphazard comedy. As a result, nothing seems quite focused.
01/01/00
Lawrence the director should have pulled the reigns in on Lawrence the star, as his constant mugging is both out of character and ridiculously exaggerated.

Any movie with a bar called Chocolate City can't be all bad, right?

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.
05/20/03
Top CriticThe screenplay is credited to four writers, and its unevenness argues that none of them were on the same wavelength.
01/01/00
Top CriticOnce it gets going, A Thin Line is moderately entertaining, but, oh my, that first hour...
01/01/00
[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.
06/18/02
Top Critic[Lawrence] doesn't seem to know that his protagonist is a deceptive, frivolous, fast-talking and surprisingly stupid womanizer.
01/01/00
A ponderous vanity project that is unfunny and, worst of all, just plain boring.
