You can tell that they like each other by the way they hate each other. Shakespeare may have invented the recipe, Tracy and Hepburn may have refined it, but Nolte and Roberts certainly hold their own.

There's a pervasive romanticism in I Love Trouble that depends on the chemistry generated by Roberts and Nolte.

Generic as its title, I Love Trouble is like a Xerox of a copy of a facsimile.

If you can get your head round the idea of Julia Roberts as a ruthlessly ambitious newspaper reporter, then there's plenty to enjoy in this frivolous comedy thriller.

Is there chemistry between Roberts and Nolte? Not really. This by-the-numbers production is more like math than chemistry.
