The tagline, "A Comedy About Lost Loves And Last Laughs", comes from which 1997 movie?

The story behind the answer

The tagline “A Comedy About Lost Loves And Last Laughs” comes from the 1997 movie Addicted to Love. The romantic black comedy stars Meg Ryan and Matthew Broderick as two people whose former partners have fallen in love with each other.

Broderick plays Sam, an astronomer who follows his former sweetheart to New York after she leaves him for another man. Ryan plays Maggie, whose ex-fiancé is the same man. The pair begin spying on the couple from an abandoned building and join forces to break them up, even though their revenge schemes repeatedly become more chaotic than planned.

The tagline captures the film’s unusual combination of romance, bitterness and farce. It is easy to confuse it with a conventional romantic-comedy slogan because the story eventually develops into a new romance, but the “lost loves” initially refer to the characters’ failed relationships and their fixation on getting even. The film was directed by Griffin Dunne and released by Warner Bros. in May 1997.
