Sign In. Hide Spoilers. I enjoyed the chemistry between Gyllenhaal and Hathaway quite a bit. It's definitely the selling point of this film and makes it watchable. The story involving pharmaceutical companies and the healthcare industry is interesting, as is the late 90s setting. The film ultimately falls into typical rom com conventions though. However, the chemistry of the two leads and the focus on the struggle of Parkinson's help make this one slightly rise above the pack. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote. This film surprised me in a good way. From the trailer and the posters to be found in many of the bus shelters of our town it would have been fair to have expected a routine rom-com. Jake Gylenhall pulls off the role of super bright but super slacker son Jamie in a high achieving family well and is convincing as a magnetising presence that women find irresistible.

The film is very uneven and there are many flaws but I think the performances make it worth viewing and the non-stop nudity by the two stars will probably make it a high rental for years to come. It wasn't there except for the Parkinson's jokes at a meeting of people afflicted with Parkinson's. Throw in a raunchily pathetic younger brother Josh Gad , a hilarious sales partner Oliver Platt , and a violent former Marine Gabriel Macht as the 1 competition, and 'Love and Other Drugs' quickly becomes one of the funniest films in years.

He's a charmer, determined to sell his way out of Ohio and into the big Chicago market, and if that involves flirting with the receptionists in doctors' offices, it's a tough job but somebody's got to do it.

The movie has strong elements of both a romantic comedy and a drama, especially after the Parkinson's begins to assert itself more. Bruce Winston. See all related lists ». Kimberly Scott Gail.
