Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway co-star in this sexy, heart-melting romance. When Maggie (Hathaway), a free-spirited young woman who’s in the beginning stages of Parkinson’s, meets a charming Viagra salesman (Gyllenhaal), the two leap into a no-strings-attached affair. But no matter how hard they try to keep things casual, they seem to be falling under the influence of the ultimate drug – love!

48%Critics Consensus: It's a pleasure to see Hollywood produce a romance this refreshingly adult, but Love and Other Drugs struggles to find a balance between its disparate plot elements.

By no means perfect, but Gyllenhaal and Hathaway are a match made in heaven.

They gaze intently at each other a lot. Is that all it takes? Maybe. A useful date movie, then.

Sex, drugs, and disease clash in racy, uneven romcom.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this racy romantic comedy based on Jamie Reidy's memoir about his time as a pharmaceutical rep for Pfizer is filled with nudity (including erstwhile Princess Diaries star Anne Hathaway's breasts), sex, and sex talk. There's also a fair bit of drinking (sometimes to excess), heavy swearing (including "f--k" and "s--t"), and many references to prescription drugs -- though the main characters are rarely seen taking them. And it's not all laughs: There's a serious subplot about Parkinson's disease. Ultimately, though, the movie has a good heart, and the characters do learn to become better people.
