Director Edward Zwick takes a bit of a turn for himself in the romantic drama genre with Love & Other Drugs.
Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal have a fantastic chemistry together, that I fear without them, the whole film might have fallen apart. The story is predictable, although there are some interesting new elements thrown into the tired formula, but the relationship between the two is so well written it kept my interest. It's not everyday a film perfectly captures an adult relationship like this and not come off as overly phony.
Not a great film but in the end, you realize it could have been A LOT worse.
