Ok ya'll I'm going to depart from my normally scheduled blog posts to do a movie review for my good friend JT Street of Fox News and Santikos movie blogs- http://blog.santikos.com
Love and Other Drugs with Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway had a lot of promise. It started out with copious amounts of gratuitous sex between Jamie (Jake Gyllenhaal) and random girls, which then proceeds to lots of gratuitous sex between Jamie and Maggie (Anne Hathaway). Jaime is a sales guy working for Pfizer, with a cold heart and a hard dick- he is in it to win it. Maggie is a sexy hippy artist/waitress who has early onset Parkinson's. It had many funny moments, and the sex scenes were believable. If you enjoy romantic comedies that are very reminiscent of the 90's (think Jerry Maguire, only not as good) then you will enjoy this movie.
My issue with it was that I went in with expectations, and if you want to enjoy a movie you should never do that (have expectations that is). It lacked a realistic ending that I expect from movies made in 2010. Certain romantic scenes were really cheesy and lacked depth. Anne Hathaway is a fantastic actress and very believable in this movie, however Jake's acting at the end of the movie took a turn for the worse. His diatribe seemed forced and over-acted, and the movie overall gives the impression that it was sponsored by Pfizer. If you have nothing better to do and have already seen Black Swan, then go see this movie. I'm going to give it 3 out of 5 bags of popcorn, because both characters look pretty good with their clothes off and Anne Hathaway's acting was pretty decent.
