Love and Other Drugs (2010)

First of all, I have been a friend to illness at times in my life...and am no stranger to medicine. Especially, since I have dated an array of various types of doctors - not relevant. Nonetheless, medicine effects peoples lives - some more than others. This film ties medicine, sickness and work ethic together and somehow trys to answer the age-old question of, 'how does one have it all (make money, make time, be smart, fall in love, learn, feel...etc.)'? And, of course, fails. I don't believe that anyone, especially a hollywood film holds the answer to any of lives questions - especially not this one. Although, Anne Hathaway (not a fan) does an excellent job portraying her character, something (maybe Jake's acting) falls short. In summary, a poorly done love story (that is VERY well hyped up by the media - and gives the effect that this film is not as badly done as it actually is). I say, wait for video unless you are bored for a film and have already seen, "Conviction". I give it a 2 out of 5 stars.

PS
For Jake fans, you see his butt (still not worth $13)!

Theater: Clearview at First and 62nd Cinemas, UES (on one of the most beautiful nights in NYC).
