Love and Other Drugs [DVD]

Brilliantly acted. Bit predictable, but well filmed enjoyable love story. Good entertainment and really worth the watch. Lots of messages in there if you really want to start looking. I loved it for what it was , certainly something you can watch and enjoy more than once. Highly Recommended

Good viewing but contains a lot of visual sex scenes.

The film is brilliantly produced and directed, and acting of the whole cast, especially Make and Anne have responded to the director and made into a 10 star film. Enjoy.

I saw this again today, after having seen it when it was first released; and, being a little older, and a little more world weary, made it even more poignant than the first time around. This isn't your average romcom; it's about us; we, as people whom often live our lives not really understanding or even seeing what our lives are really about, until someone shows you, you.The human condition is painful, and complex, and often the reality of it is hidden by the daily BS we wade through; unthinking and blind, but Maggie is one of those rare characters that can see right through it all.If this film doesn't make a person pause and think about thier life, and those less fortunate that are all around us, then I think there is something fundamentally wrong with them as a person.I feel pity for those reviewers whom only gave it 1 star "waiting for something to happen" because that's probably how thier lives are, and it's only at the end credits of their lives that they will realise, too late, what this film, and thier lives, was about.

What starts off promising rom-com turns a bit lack-lustre near the end. Enjoyable, but also very heavy! Would recommend, but again make sure you're willing to go the 'long haul' to get to the end as most would get a little bored at places. Very funny in other places though thanks to Jake Gyllenhaal

I saw this movie as a teenager when it first came out, and it always stuck with me. Rediscovering it here on amazon years later, as a 25-year-old with a similarly progressive disability, has been quite the experience. Having had to navigate similar difficulties as I met and fell in love with my own perfectly healthy husband, it touches me in ways that no other movie ever has. The acting is brilliant and the love between the two main characters so believable, but most importantly the movie's final message is valuable, especially for anyone else out there whose relationships are thriving in the shadow of incurable illness.

Problem was it wasn't funny, certainly not a fraction as funny as it thought it was - amazed at how good many of the reviews. Both stars tried hard hard - too hard - and that too was part of the problem

A fun watch but with some serious messages. It's a great watch if you love romantic comedies (I even got my boyfriend to watch it and he doesn't like chick flicks), but be aware that it has a downer in the middle section but it picks up again. It includes lots of nakedness and sex - so if you want to see either Jake Gyllenhaal or Anne Hathaway naked then this is for you. If you don't enjoy nakedness then stay away.
