Love and other drugs, the moving and lovely romantic comedy with a twist. It is based on the non-fiction book Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman by Jamie Reidy. About a pharmaceutical salesman, Jamie (Jake Gyllenhaal) who is a rather big hit with the ladies, always getting his way with any woman.
Until he meets Maggie (Anne Hathaway) a sufferer of Parkinson's disease who is flattered by Jamie but is unwilling to enter into anything with him except sex. This rejection only makes Jamie want her more and her pursues her from a sex buddy to love. As per usual in big Hollywood films, their equilibrium of a story is thrown out of balance as we as the audience discover Jamie and Maggie's romantic fate.
This film was both funny and beautiful. A story of boy meets girl plus viagra, soft pornography, a disease and a beautifully sculptured Jake Gyllenhaal and you have a sweet film to watch on a Sunday afternoon.
