Lovesick Reviews:
Dated but still funny 
2009-08-06 - Especially for Psych buffs or just watching people to
find out how they tick. Dated a bit (1983).
Time machine to a better place. 
2007-03-24 - This movie was fantastic. It was made in a more innocent time before AIDS, stalking laws and all of the scandelous relationships between patients and doctors were plastered all over the media. Hell, there was'nt even such a thing as sexual harrassment back then. I look at the film now and somehow feel sentimental for a period when we did'nt know how dangerous a place the world could be. Blissful ignorence.
Dudley Moore was just one of the all time comedic genius's that will never be duplicated. Practically anything starring him was sure to be a hit, even though overshadowed by Tom Hanks in the end. I especially liked the narritive by the Freud character, it makes the film unique and catches you off guard while being so appropriate and funny. Charming, whistful, clever and enduring, what more is to be said. If you can get past the funny 80's clothes and old cars of the day the film is a real treat, if you are older then it will take you back to a time when life was sweeter and fun was a priority.
Love Sick, Sweet Love 
2007-03-14 - I am not a Dudley Moore fan, but this is one of his performances that rings true. It is a love story, unabashedly, and is told in a gentle, loving way. There are laughs, but often not far from tears, and would make a wonderful date movie.
The score is available
2006-12-22 - For those of you who love this beautiful score, one half-hour of it is available on the Varese Sarabande CD "Sister Mary Explains It All" by Philippe Sarde, which contains the title score, "Lovesick" and selections from "The Manhattan Project" The CD is worth the purchase for "Lovesick" alone. Although long out of print, it can be purchased on iTunes.
Fair movie with a great musical score.
2005-02-28 - I enjoy most projects done by Dudley More and that includes this movie.
At times it seem like a bit of struggle for the actors to bring life to this average script.
The real gem in this movie is the score (soundtrack) which is beautiful.
Disappointingly at this point, I can't find it anywhere on CD.
