Although it accurately captures the obsessive madness of teen love, this psychological romance about a boy (Chris O'Donnell) and his sort of manic depressive girlfriend (Drew Barrymore) never kicks into more than second gear, storywise. Plus, there's Barrymore's lame acting. (R. Pitman) [Blu-ray/DVD Review—Dec. 31, 2019—Kino Lorber, 96 min., PG-13, DVD: $14.95, Blu-ray: $19.95—Making its latest appearance on DVD and debut on Blu-ray, 1995’s Mad Love features a fine transfer and a DTS-HD 5.1 soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition. Extras include audio commentary by entertainment journalist and author Bryan Reesman. Bottom line: looking sharp on Blu-ray, this is still an uneven drama.]
