if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Frankly, I was pleasantly surprised. At first I thought it would be a typical girls movie but this film showed me an amazing sides that I had not seen before. An amazing performance of a geniuses actors, amazing soundtrack and perfectly suited to scenes. And simply this entire movie is perfection.

Came to my attention because I saw Movie Night's list of the Top Ten best nude scenes ever, and was really surprised to find Walt Disney star Anne Hathaway on there. Obtained the movie, but the box art generally strikes you as a romantic comedy, so I was quite surprised by that scene where Anne disrobed to be surprised by Josh Gad.There are movies out there who purport to be sexual, but they aren't ever as classy sexy as this one. Yes, there is a considerable mix-up of genres in this film, with something for everybody thrown in. One moment it is a romantic comedy, then it is clear that tragedy is inevitably around the corner, but interspersed are some of the sexiest scenes done on film, and then we're back with much, much bleaker stuff again.Morgan Freeman referred to Anne Hathaway as "the naked girl from LOVE & OTHER DRUGS"... Who'd have thought that after THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA...?Nice to see Katheryn Winnick in here as well, as 'bad girl' 'Lisa' after recently seeing her in that NIKITA episode.

Love and Other Drugs (2010): Dir: Edward Zwick / Cast: Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway, Oliver Platt, Hank Azaria, Josh Gad: What drugs could possibly assist someone in getting through a screening of this junk? The drug in question is feelings and it stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a womanizer who recently lost his job then he is roomed with his slob brother and selling drug samples at doctors offices. He meets his match in Anne Hathaway, a victim of Parkinsons disease whom he will suddenly give a sh*t about. This is all very phony and even the disease subject seems like an ill contrived plot device. Director Edward Zwick previously made much different films in Blood Diamond and Courage Under Fire but here he can merely watch his actors become undone by dipstick circumstances. It is easily one of the worst films Zwick has ever attached his name to, and a total opposite to the greatness of Blood Diamond. Gyllenhaal is a fine actor but here he lacks the sincerity required. Hathaway is a stunning presence whose first scene has her exposing a breast. Eventually she shows up at Gyllenhaal's apartment dropping her robe displaying all of her goods. The view is spectacular but it comes off as desperate. In flat supporting roles are Oliver Platt as a job associate of Gyllenhaal's who eats a lot. Hank Azaria plays a doctor whom seeks Viagra from Gyllenhaal. This movie is everywhere. At one point it wants to be charming and funny, then it gets emotional presenting serious talk about Parkinsons. What it doesn't do is suggest the right drugs one should take to erase this drivel from memory. Score: 2 / 10

This was okay, getting better towards the end when it takes a turn towards the dramatic and loses the bad comedic edge it had going. Anne Hathaway is (less annoying than usual here) as a free spirited woman who won't let anything or anyone tie her down -she is also suffering from Parkinson's. She meets her match however in "Jamie" (Jake Gyllenhaal -looking good) an ultra charming drug rep working for Pfizer.Their evolving relationship takes them both by surprise and I particularly enjoyed watching Jamie's character grow up. There were some sexy love scenes here I wasn't expecting and that moment where Jamie realizes that he's fallen in love and has a panic attach, very well done. Those drug companies are cut throat and viscous. 10/4/13
