Lovesick is a 2014 American romantic comedy film directed by Luke Matheny (in his feature directorial debut) and written by Dean Young. The film stars Matt LeBlanc as a man who tries to prevent his strange psychological condition from affecting his new relationship, with Ali Larter, Adam Rodriguez, and Chevy Chase in supporting roles.

Plot

It is the story of Charlie Darby, who has everything going for him: a great job, friends, family, the whole package. The one thing Charlie doesn't have is love, because every time he gets close, he goes clinically insane. When he meets the perfect girl, Charlie must overcome his psychosis to claim his chance at true love.

Dean Young penned Lovesick in about a month, with the story based loosely on his experiences. The film was produced by Michael Roiff of Night & Day Pictures, Travus Pope of Full Blitz Entertainment, and Josh Goldstein, while Young served as an executive producer.

Principal photography took place in Los Angeles, California in July 2012.

Reception

Critical response
 

Jeannette Catsoulis of The New York Times wrote that "this soulless, sterile romantic comedy has slipped under the wire to give audiences a headache and Matt LeBlanc's reputation a relapse." Gary Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times stated that "although Lovesick plays more like an extended sitcom episode than a full-fledged feature film, the script by Dean Young contains enough genuine laughs and amusing moments to keep this slight romantic farce afloat."
