Love and Other Drugs

I don’t have much to same about this romantic comedy because, well, it’s a romantic comedy. It had romance. It had humor. It has it’s fair share of serious situations to further the plot. This one is slightly different than your run of the mill romantic comedy because it was largely about Parkinson’s disease. Jake Gyllenhaal’s character was a smart med school drop out who is a brilliant salesman. He is also brilliant in bed and got fired from his job for sleeping with the boss’ girlfriend. He movies to Illinois and begins work for Pfizer as a pharmaceutical sales rep. Through his job he meets Anne Hathaway’s character, who is a free spirit that has Parkinson’s. Well, they begin a relationship. Jake Gyllenhaal struggles before Prozac is released, but then he becomes one of the top sales guys in the company. Gyllenhaal falls in love with Hathaway but can’t get over the fact that she is sick and does everything in his power to try to bring her to doctor’s that can help. She can’t deal with it and they break up. Then they get back together and live happily. I actually don’t remember if they stay together. According to Wikipedia, Gyllenhaal quits Pfizer and finishes med school. Oh well, I guess it didn’t make that much of an impression. By the way, Anne Hathaway is naked a lot in this movie.
