Mad Love is a 1995 drama romance movie starring Drew Barrymore, Chris O'Donnell and Matthew Lillard.
[edit] Synopsis
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Matt Leland (O'Donnell) falls in love with Casey Roberts (Barrymore), the new girl in school from Chicago. After Matt helps Casey escape from an acute psychiatric ward, they run away as they battle her further fall into manic depression.
Casey is eccentric in nature. Her carefree attitude is attributed to a part of her manic depression closely related to bipolar disorder in which she can experience severe highs and severe lows of emotion. It is from this truth much of the film's central appeal and plot are based upon, in that her mutual love and joy can be so extreme yet dangerously flawed.
