Woodruff's direction is smooth enough on a technical level, but the film's storytelling has little dimension, even for a melodrama.

Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The actors are uniformly handsome and mostly serviceable, though the same can't be said about the filmmaking or the writing.
Watching "Addicted" is like eating Cheese Whiz straight from the jar. There's no nutritional value. It's kind of embarrassing. But it does satisfy a base craving for cheap, immediate sensation.
The film unfortunately depicts black female sexuality, a topic rarely portrayed onscreen, with all the depth and subtlety of a late night Cinemax offering.
"Addicted" doesn't know whether it wants to be a modern-day bodice-ripper, a morality-tinged cautionary tale or a serious snapshot of sexual compulsion. Whatever the case, it fails on all fronts.
