Love & Other Drugs

I love this movie. It's raw but good and leaves you wanting more. It ends to fast. It's cute, funny, but also has serious undertones that make it have everything you might need in a movie. The jokes are funny, the scenes are cute. The setting is beautiful as well and the plot line isn't like any other I have found yet. Haven't had a romance movie that's kept me quite as intrigued and watching over and over again as this one.

I liked this movie. I was not originally a fan of Jake Gyllenhaal or Anne Hathaway but after watching this movie I am a new fan. The movie starts off like a typical shallow movie but actually becomes more meaningful with great acting by both Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway.

I’ve always loved this movie and always recommend it to friends! Great actors and storyline!

Love and Other Drugs is a romantic comedy about a pharmaceutical salesman played by Jake Gyllenhaal, who is on the verge of getting fired until Viagra comes along and reignites his career. One day while pushing Viagra at a clinic, he meets and falls for Anne Hathaway's character and they start in what is supposed to be an NSA relationship, mainly because she has Parkinson's and does not want to get into a long-term relationship. Of course, feelings develop and the two have to figure out what they want. It has a strong supporting cast including Judy Greer, Oliver Platt, Hank Azaria, and Josh Gad.For those who get the blu-ray, the A/V quality is very good, and it has a handful of extras, including deleted scenes, character profiles of Maggie (Hathaway) and Jamie (Gyllenhaal), a feature on Jamie Reidy, the real salesman on whose book the movie is based, the theatrical trailer, and a BD live feature on Gyllenhaal's favorite scene.Overall, the movie is good, but not without its flaws. The movie does at times seem like a schill for big Phrama, with Pfizer getting a ton of product placement, and just kind of glossing over many issues that the drug companies create (which could easily be more of a theme, because of the character of Maggie and her predicament). There is a lot of sex and nudity in the movie, moreso than in other rom-coms. While it does follow some of the traditional rom-com formulaic notes, it does diverge from that at times. While it is definitely not a family-friendly movie, it is worth watching if you are looking for an adult rom-com.

This is the best movie i love it so much especially when you’re in a similar situation

I love it!

Jake and Ann have chemistry that’s for sure. How could you not with a woman like her. Fun, sad and beautiful. Not intended for children as Ann gets naked through much of the movie with full parts shown.

There were so many things about this movie that did not ring true or seem believable. Start with the parents of the main character, the father a doctor who teaches at a university, and his mother-hen-all-warm-and-endearing wife. In their somewhat drab dining room, having dinner with their grown kids. Almost screams, 'Poor but honest, human, down-to-earth.' In other words, 'Don't hate Dad because he's a doctor and rolling in money!' Then there's the chubby son who supposedly is so smart that he made a killing in the field of technology. He's too dumb to put any money in the bank, so soon, we're seeing him, again, 'poor but honest and down-to-earth, with self-esteem issues, just like you and me!' What crap. After the titillation of lots of skin shown when Jake and Anne Hathaway have sex (that part is pretty believable), Jake's character, Jamie, who's supposed to be such an emotional clod that he talks over the live broadast of the towers falling on 9/11, Jake and Maggie (her character) get serious. It's really a very touching scene when he first admits that he loves her - that was worth watching for the acting and the message conveyed - but when he starts to focus on her disease, everything goes awry. I'll skip all the things that happen and just say that it could have ended with the lovely emotional scene that seems to resolve many issues. I loved that scene. Then it was all ruined by a coda in which Jake tells us that he made a moral choice and applied to medical school. ENNNGHHH! (sound of buzzer). Wrong thing to add to the movie. Jake's already admitted that he can't sit through classes, was aimless in college and dropped out. In the competitive world of medical admissions, even Dad (a university professor, remember) would have trouble getting a son who's decided he wants to be doctor now into medical school. A son who refers to himself as having ADD. And that is expected to wrap up all of the plot in a neat little bow so the happy couple retire healthy and wealthy (the understanding is that Maggie will then have her own live-in doctor watching the progress of her disease). Without that stupid, cloying, and unbelievable ending, I was willing to overlook the 'poor but honest' facade presented by a family basically rolling in money, with plenty of options in life and lots of financial security, but living 'the simple (and drab) life' as if it was some political statement. But with that dumb ending, I can really only recommend skipping through the movie to the last 15 minutes. It's all you really need to see - the rest is purely contrived and not believable.

Interesante pelicula

Producto en buen estado, excelente peli

キャリア的にネガティヴになってないのが凄い。ハッピーエンドなのも良い。

Au départ, entre Jamie (jeune homme auquel personne ne résiste et surtout pas les demoiselles(^^))qui tente de percer dans le métier de visiteur médical à défaut d'être allé jusqu'au bout de ses études de médecine et Maggie, jeune femme en apparence bien dans sa peau mais qui supporte en fait très mal sa maladie précoce rien ne semble sérieux. Ils s'aiment....beaucoup (dans tous les sens du terme!^^), pensent que tout cela est sans lendemain et pourtant...très vite ils se parlent vraiment et ne peuvent plus se passer l'un de l'autre mais comment s'aimer avec ce tiers indésirable qu'est la maladie? Entre amour,humour, émotion et chagrin, nous suivons cette histoire très simple mais aussi très belle avec beaucoup d'intérêt grâce aux acteurs formidables que sont Anne Hathaway et Jake Gyllenhaal, je vous recommande ce film chaudement, vous ne serez pas déçus!

Es ist halt ein schöner Film. Ich habe diesen Film verschenkt, weil er so gut bei meiner Herzdame ankam.Ist auf jeden fall sehenswert.
