New York, les années 90. Jamie est un jeune commercial redoutable dont l’assurance - et le physique avantageux - sévissent aussi bien auprès des femmes que dans l’univers implacable de l’industrie pharmaceutique où, entre antidépresseurs et dopants sexuels, il parvient finalement à tout vendre. Mais il y a une personne qui semble insensible aux charmes de Jamie: Maggie. Une jeune femme très séduisante et furieusement indépendante qui, comme Jamie, fuit l’engagement émotionnel, mais pour des raisons très différentes. Elle est atteinte d’une maladie chronique et a décidé de vivre uniquement au jour le jour. Malgré eux, ce qui devait être une histoire sans lendemain va alors s’intensifier. Tous deux vont bientôt voir leurs principes respectifs malmenés et devenir accros à la plus puissante des drogues qui soit: l’amour. (20th Century Fox FR)

Man, this one cracked me up :-)) The beginning was basically nothing, but once Anne Hathaway appeared on the scene, who, by the way, looked more beautiful than ever, the movie took off... in every way. I liked the dry humor underlined by really good music. Maybe next time I could do without the "lame" (and I say that very nicely) brother. The romance worked here, no question about it. The story was wonderful and perhaps a little original. A happy ending with all the trimmings and then some. I'm surprised, excited, and a little tearful. And I like it, a lot.

The golden age of up-and-coming R-rated relationship dramas that artfully oscillate between light comedy and a classy dramatic plot. They're spicier, get deeper under the skin and can be very direct, even improvisational. The cards are dealt quite clearly and the outcome is basically decided, but the most interesting thing is the journey from A to Z. The chemistry between Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal is remarkable. Edward Zwick surprised with his choice of genre and even more so with the agility and awareness of his execution.

I really should stop watching movies like this. It makes me hate the life around me, written by the world's most wretched ever screenwriter. Otherwise, Jake is a cool dude playing a typical pretty boy, and he's surprisingly bearable. As for Anne, I can see why we're going to see her in the third Batman. Already here she’s simply divine. Too bad about the crude jokes between the brothers which really don't work, otherwise Zwick serves up a drama "from life" which rides a wave of clichés, but every once in a while... why not? No I'm... I'm knowingly full of shit.

Love and Other Drugs is a typical American dramatic-romantic comedy that doesn't really stand out from its long line of similar predecessors. The leading couple (Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal) have already been together in Brokeback Mountain, and they really hit it off here. Despite the primal stereotyping, the plot was enriched by an inscrutable disease. A relaxing film to lighten the mood, helped especially by the likeable lead duo and a pleasant soundtrack.

An inconspicuous pearl that only gains its true luster with time. Seemingly routine plot lines, slightly formulaic characters from thematically similar romantic comedies, and predictable developments transform into a perfectly complex spectacle with a conceptual and even greater emotional depth in the second half. Edward Zwick directs a romance with a capital 'R' and Anne Hathaway confirms that when it comes to the role of a girl-next-door, she has only minimal competition in contemporary Hollywood.
