Love and Other Drugs


Jaime Randall (Gyllenhaal) is a pharmaceutical rep riding the erectile dysfunction wave of the late 20th century right out of Ohio to the Windy City. Through a bizarre series of events, he meets Maggie (Hathaway), a waitress and wannabe artist. The two quickly and frequently hop in the sack, and this would be a fun rom-com if not for Maggie's revelation that she is suffering with the early stages of Parkinson's disease. While there are genuine moments (both funny and sad) and Hathaway and Gyllenhaal are compelling, the film never really pulls it all together. Based on the true store of Jamie Reidy in his autobiography "Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman."

The leads are both good at making their characters likable, funny and touching. However, it doesn't add anything new, beyond the comic situations involving Gyllenhaal's salesman and his new product: Viagra.
