Matt (Chris O'Donnell) falls for Casey (Drew Barrymore), the new girl in school. She's fun-loving and eccentric, but there's a darkness to her whimsy that Matt can't begin to comprehend. When Casey attempts to commit suicide, her parents (Joan Allen, Jude Ciccolella) place her in a mental institution. Matt springs her out, and together the young lovers head on a road trip. They believe their love can "cure" Casey's problems. Matt starts to wonder, though, if are they inspired or misguided.

Critics Consensus

Mad Love tries to juggle mental illness with meet-cute, and the end result is a misguided rom-com whose sparks resolutely fail to fly.

Emanuel Levy

Variety

Though well-acted by Chris O'Donnell and Drerw Barrymore, this is yet another version of amour fou and love on the run that makes little sense and fails to reach the heart.

It's like several of MTV's "Alternative Nation" videos strung together, occasionally interrupted by dialogue.

Despite the old-fashioned ideology, at least Mad Love is good to look at.

This films captures the passions of teen years very well; I remember this film made a deep emotional impression on me somehow when I was a teenager myself. With a choice soundtrack, fine performances, especially of Drew Barrymore - just watch her in the scene in the cafeteria - this film has a soul.

Barrymore and O'Donnell are great together but the plot is rather problematic and ruins the film. (5.5/10)

Barrymore's needy vulnerability is sad and that air raps like a noose around this movie's neck.
