A hot young celebrity discovers fame can be a toxic substance in this independent drama. Gray Evans (Giovanni Ribisi) is a successful actor in his late twenties who would seem to have it made. Gray is married to an attractive actress with a solid career of her own, Mia Lang (Franka Potente), he's got several projects in the works, he gets lots of fan mail, and he gets to hang out at ritzy parties with his heroes. But Gray is far from happy; his marriage to Mia is starting to fall apart, and he's being driven to distraction by his obsessive belief that a fan is stalking him. As Gray struggles to separate his delusions from reality, he finds himself indulging in a bit of stalking of his own, as he begins following John (Joshua Jackson), a clerk at a video store who is a big fan of his movies. The way Gray sees it, John is happier than he is, John's pretty wife, Jane (Marisa Coughlan), loves him while Mia doesn't care for him any more, and all in all he'd just as soon trade lives with the guy. In the midst of all this, Gray has recently run into Shana (Christina Ricci), a former flame he'd like to reconnect with. Directed by actor Adam Goldberg, I Love Your Work features a number of major stars in cameo roles, including Vince Vaughn, Jason Lee, and Elvis Costello. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    What the .... Even after watching this movie with Director and Actor commentaries, I still have no idea about such things as the meaning of the number "4" , the red windbreaker, etc. Depending on how you wanted to look at this movie, I suppose you can find a story - maybe even more -- but I did not enjoy it in most aspects. I found this too profound to be "enjoyed as entertainment."

    This is a shame. The company has produced some great DVD movies and has a talented bunch of actors. This particular one is one of the most hodge podge, self indulgent, wandering and difficult to follow pieces I have seen in years. By the halfway point I was wondering what was happening. By the end I did not care. Good camera work, good actors, a truly terrible story.

    There are so many things to like about this movie. The quirky music, the wonderful cast, the great storyline, the art direction... they all work together to make a great little flick. The best part of it, however, is Giovanni Ribisi himself. Like a young Paul Giamatti, he's highly underrated. Just a tiny glance or tear in his eye tell you everything you need to know about his character, even if there were no words. This movie is rich in symbolism, reminiscent of "Citizen Kane", with the use of mirrors, not that any movie can really compare with "Kane". It's like the little arthouse movie that could. Adam Goldberg's love for this story just oozes from the screen. I can't recommend this movie enough!
