The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The chemistry between the lead couple is spot on. They look and act terrifically, that's something of a novel concept for a romantic comedy recently. The theme is all age-old, tried and tested one - a reckless playboy meets a kind-hearted girl with a non curable disease and then they go away and come back with a happy ending. But, the execution is what this film sets apart and makes it a one time watch on a lazy afternoon. The situational comedy suits well in parts but, the overall tone is more romantic and dramatic. Anne is pretty believable as a Parkinson's patient and handles the situation too well. See it or not, you won't miss much either way.

Reviewed May 2010The core story is of an ambitious medical rep Jamie (Gyllenhaal) starts a relationship with a stage 1 Parkinson's disease affected Maggie (Hathaway). Maggie is too proud to let anyone take care of her, so she doesn't commit to a relationship with anyone. They both start off as just F-Buddies, but couldn't ignore what's building up. This was one film where I have seen Jake Gyllenhaal to be totally comfortable with his role. We have seen similar characters portraying a similar relationship scenario in the past, what's the difference is this film goes for broke for most part of the movie. Some jokes made me feel that either Seth Rogen or Judd Apatow were part of this project. It justifies it's adult tag for most part but chickens out in the climax to finish off trying to be a crowd pleaser. It didn't gel with the tone of the characters until then. It is a well acted and well intentioned movie, but was in a dilemma whether to please the crowd or the critics. Finally falls little short on both accounts.

The film raises many questions society needs to confront: the role of the pharmaceutical industry in the medical-industrial complex, how we treat people with incurable diseases, how people with incurable diseases search for cures for themselves. This movie was a touching story that involves sickness and finding unexpected love. It had a plethora of passion, lust and hot steamy love scenes. besides those reasons this movie can best be summed up as a kind of old fashioned romance falling in love story that touches your emotions as you feel the couples (Jamie and Maggie) growing pains of trust, sickness and feel good pleasure. Jamie (Jake Gyllenhaal) who's a young playboy from a well to do family and his biggest love in life is going to bed with various beautiful young females. Jamie becomes a pharmaceutical sales rep. and he's taken under the arms of an ego driven boss Bruce (Oliver Platt) and the catch and sale of the game is for Jamie to use his charm and good looks to help sell medicine like Zoloft and Viagra. Plus, his connection with a cocky Dr. Knight (Hank Azaria) helps his climb and profile in the drug selling world too! Now that Jamie has become a somewhat successful pharmaceutical rep. he now meets his match in one of Knight's patients, that being the sassy and witty sharp tongued free spirited sexy Maggie Murdock. Maggie has stage one Parkinson's disease. This film thru it all is wonderful as the sex and hot lustful passion make it interesting t to watch and enjoy as the strong chemistry of Jake and Anne is amazing. Those factors alone make it one of the better films I've seen. And adding the sickness theme of Parkinson's makes it depressing to some still it proves that anyone can be loved and that it's unexpected and everyone needs someone. Love & Other Drugs is a feel-good film that I would recommend to anyone of age. This movie is very much enjoyable it touches emotions, can have you laughing one moment then crying the next, it shows that people who have Parkinson's can still live a happy and fulfilling life.
