Summary: Maggie (Hathaway) is an alluring free spirit who won't let anyone - or anything - tie her down. But she meets her match in Jamie (Gyllenhaal), whose relentless and nearly infallible charm serve him well with the ladies and in the cutthroat world of pharmaceutical sales. Maggie and Jamie's evolving relationship takes them both by surprise, as they find themselves under the influence of the ultimate drug: love. (imdb)
Truly awful. Whoever wrote Maggie's character confused obnoxious bitchiness with cutely mischievous quirkiness. I just wanted both the characters to be unhappy. The "I love you" speech at the end of the film was the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
I'm not the biggest fan of romantic flicks, but I truly enjoyed this one. It's not about the same sort of couple we always get in this kind of films, no, they rather tried to put in some new elements which worked out quite fine for me. The story is interesting, romantic and even moving and funny at times.
Less comedy than previews would lead you to believe, but that's a good thing. While many films have similar plots and love story arcs, Jake and Anne have terrific chemistry which helps propel an above-average romantic drama. There are a few caricature issues with side characters, but the back-story of late 90's pharmaceutical culture gives this a gritty, realistic feel. Finally, Maggie's illness is more than just a film gimmick; its a real-world testing point for the unrivaled power of devotion.
It has profanity and nudity you might not see in most rom-coms, but apart from those two elements, everything else is the same -- and sometimes worse. It's less funny than a lot of lower-rated films, and it uses more clichés than some of those movies as well. It's sometimes like watching a how-to guide of how to make a romantic comedy, while other times, it comes across like a poorly crafted film about company rivalry. If you just adore romantic comedy cliches, this might be for you.
