Edward Zwick directed Defiance and Blood Diamond, but his latest, Love and Other Drugs, is a rom-com about what would happen if one night, suave, chauvinist pharmaceutical sales rep Jake Gyllenhaal (“Jamie Reidy”) and cynical free spirit Anne Hathaway (“Maggie Murdock”) got together and, as they say, bling-banged. Oh, and lest you think I’m the one making this sound cheesy, here’s the official synopsis from Fox:
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.
Is one of the side effects dismissive wanking? If I’m still doing this in four hours, call me an ambulance. Anyway, it opens November 24th, but considering you’ve already seen every plot point in the trailer, I don’t know why you’d need to see it again. Though something tells me this movie was specially designed for people who want to watch the same thing over and over again.
UPDATE/SPOILER ALERT: Commenter Chucky Pisspants claims this film features copious shots of Anne Hathaway’s breasts and she has Parkinson’s disease. I take it back, I’m sold.

OK, I didn’t buy this guy as a Marine in Jarhead, I’m not buying him as Joe Namath in the Biopic, I definitely bought him as the bottom in Broker Back Mountain, and there is no FUCKING way I am buying that he is banging a woman….. ever
Fuck I spelled Broke wrong. Shit… fuck him
This is my wildest fantasy come true.
*watches trailer, realizes it’s not about Jake Gyllenhaal banging his sister*
Though something tells me this movie was specially designed for people who want to watch the same thing over and over again
If that one thing is Ann Hathaway taking off her clothes, then yes, I agree 100%.
Jake Gyllenhaal is the kind of male chauvinist pig that would take you out to a nice restaurant and afterwards make you be the one to apply anal lube to his asshole before you fuck him with a strap-on
@LordZnot isnt that the name of Boiler Room 2?
I’m sure Jake was foaming at the mouth to be in a movie where he could bang someone named Maggie. Which, incidentally, is how Maggie Gyllenhaal came to be – incest and rabies.
Maggie (Hathaway) is an alluring free spirit who won’t let anyone – or anything – tie her down.
This could’ve been a fantastic porno instead of a lame rom-com.
*sigh*
And you know we ain’t gonna see her tits because Jake would running away screaming with his hands over his eyes.
Love and other drugs: AKA Roofies the movie.
What’s that you say? The Toyota Camry now has slightly different door handles, but is still boring as shit to drive and look at? Holy fucking shit – I need one today!
no bullshit on this one… she’s got parkinsons in this movie. and her tits are on display multiple times. but yes, shaky, twitchy tits.
right… like jake gyllenhaal is going to have to “act” in order to play a guy banging a girl named maggie
TITS or GTFO!
I could do with seeing Anne’s honkers, too.
That screencap for the trailer appears to be fairly accurate.
I assume the fat ass with the Jew-fro is offering Jake some girl on girl porno tapes, right?
If you change “charm” to “stabbings” in that synopsis, then my interest might be piqued.
This is a plausible relationship – he is a viagra salesman and she is Anne Hathaway.
Dies of some form of cancer. Odds?
the cutthroat world of pharmaceutical sales
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I hope the conflict that splits them up after their unlikely union but before their final, inevitable reconciliation is a medication side effect from something he pedals. I’m hoping tardive dyskinesia or Stevens Johnson Syndrome…

If you think about your own life and can’t identify your own obnoxious bejewfro’d friend within 15 seconds, then you are the obnoxious bejewfro’d friend.
Vince doesn’t count.
I don’t have 2:28 of my life to waste (haha, just kidding) so I’m not going to watch the trailer but here’s your synopsis:
In a world where derp de derp, one woman is playing by her rules [Katy Perry song]. But soon she’s about to find out that all rules are meant to be broken [record scratch, cuts to shot of Gyllenballs]. [Awkward first moment combined with pill bottle crotch shot] Derp, coming soon
*Glances at watch after 4 hours of dismissive wanking* You’re an ambulance.
Time out: Are you serious about the tits and the parkinson’s thing, Chucky? Because if so, that could carry the whole movie.
Tits and Parkinsons would get this pushed right to the top of my Netflix queue.
Peter Travers thinks Anne Hathaway plays a FOX who is SWEETER THAN A MILKSHAKE in this movie!
Anne Hathaway’s character masturbates by taking the batteries out of her vibrator.
* looks around, realizes everyone else left this post an hour ago *
Dammit, I’m never going to lunch again…
So, basically this is Boomerang for white people.
Vince, i am not lying in the least. I would have said there was a beaver shot if so, but yes, she’s dealing with stage one parkinsons throughout the movie and is afraid to get tied down so she pulls her tits out a couple of times and bags the prince of persia. i caught an advance screening a while back so i’m special, you see.
In that case why isn’t this film titled Anne Hathaway pulls her tits out, shakes? Is it some sort of code?
