It's amzing and l fought watching this moving to the last tooth and

I started watching this film more because I had to than because I wanted to. I was fully aware that I may not like it. I can usually tolerate even watching terrible stuff like the new Bladerunner, when there is a good reason.But this time, around 60 min mark, I had to stop. This film was hurting my brain, and burning holes in it. Why, you ask? Oh boy, where do I start. Let's see: A brother who jokes about oral sex (they used much more crude language in the scene however) with his brother during dinner with their mother present. That was supposed to be funny.An alienated looser of a drug salesman who has not a trace of humanity in him, falls in love with a girl who has no personality, other than her Parkinson. And I am supposed to care?Dialogues which confuse swearing with meaning. Crude and dumb to no end.Any time those things (bad dialogues, untenable relationship) fall apart, we get a sex scene, which is even worse. Sex is uninspired, loveless, crude, unfunny, uncaring, and all too logical/brainy to be interesting. It is what a teenager who never had sex imagines sex scenes should be like. Oh, and she does not want him back, and he falls for her even more, just like that. Bring that gawd-awful brother back!Jake G. and Anne H. were quite good, but good acting does not a good film make, especially not when the script is awful. They should have rejected those roles. I bet this film did not look any better on paper either.You get the idea. The film or script was made by people who have no interest or ability to understand human condition. They have the finesse of a nuclear weapon, and artistic flair of "paint by numbers" book. The result is this horror.Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go and watch Miley Cirus to detox from this crap.

Well I must be honest with you guys. The first time I watched Love and other drugs I was completely amazed by its plot and the characters development...Watching this movie for the thousandth time made me really disappointed though. I think I made a mistake giving it 10 stars and now I made it only 6 (and I'm still doubting if it's not too much). The plot is kind of exceeded. Jackass that falls in love for the first time for a girl who has large walls built around her, but who at the same time apparently owns a huge self security (and has Parkinson). I don't think this is much of a spoiler, but, they fall in love with each other and in a relationship which, started by only casual sex, is surrounded by insecurities from both sides, they broke up, and then they come back again. I probably thought it was a great story and some kind of "masterpiece" of the current cinema (which is not THAT current though) because I was passing through some stuff in my life and I just got emotional watching it. But it is not like that. I just couldn't watch it for more than one hour the last time: somehow the story is weak and not even the talent of the main characters could save this movie from boredom. It's totally predictable, not to comment the uncountable frames where there's nothing new but the couple getting laid. This film is not trash, but it's bordering the trashy line... Something cool to watch when you don't't have nothing else to.

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.
