"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME

A Thin Line Between Love and Hate | 1996 | R | - 5.6.9

Martin Lawrence finds himself in a real-life fatal attraction when spurned girlfriend Lynn Whitfield won't take no for an answer.

SEX/NUDITY 5 - Scantily clad dancers in a club, suggestive dancing, lots of kissing, lots of sexual innuendo (sometimes graphic). A sex scene contains kissing and we see thrusting and glimpses of her bare breasts.

VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - A man is injured when falling off a horse, a man is in a pool with a bloody head wound, a brawl breaks out with fistfighting and tables breaking, a man pushes a woman around. A woman hits herself in the face causing bruises, and she also slams a door on her arm causing a sprain. A woman terrorizes a man (ruins his car, almost runs him down in the street), hits him over the head with a vase, kicks him in the crotch and shoots him (we see a little bit of splattered blood). Two women fall amid breaking glass into a pool. A man is shown stitched and bandaged in a hospital bed.

LANGUAGE 9 - 30+ F-words, many scatological references, some mild obscenities, many anatomical references, some racial slurs.

DISCUSSION TOPICS - Womanizing, maturity, stalking, falling in love.

MESSAGE - Passion is not love.

CAVEATS

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
