I Love Trouble is a 1994 romantic comedy film starring Nick Nolte and Julia Roberts. It was written by husband-and-wife team Nancy Meyers and Charles Shyer, and directed by Shyer. Rival Chicago reporters Peter Brackett (Nolte) and Sabrina Peterson (Roberts) reluctantly join forces to uncover a train wreck conspiracy and bite off more than they can chew while pursuing the story and bickering along the way - and falling in love, despite the fact that he's many years older than she. Sabrina is an ambitious, gifted reporter willing to do whatever it takes to learn the truth about the train accident, which leads her into conflict, then reluctant partnership, with fading star newsman Peter who works for a rival paper. He is her polar opposite: he chases women, smokes cigars, and has just published his first novel. During their pursuit of the story, Peter and Sabrina clash over virtually everything. The film was not well-received by critics, although it grossed over $30 million in box-office receipts in the United States. |
