User Reviews

 

And I thought Jake Gyllenhaal was out of place in Donnie Darko as a depressed Emo! In Love and Other Drugs, Gyllenhaal plays a New York pharmaceutical salesman who becomes a country singer at the urging of his new girlfriend Maggie (Anne Halfaway). In the end its sort of a morality tale because nobody makes out very well despite how much money changes hands. Lots of S&M fetish action. When he doesn't seem to be getting the hang of it, she takes him back to her home, where he tries to perform what looks like a lousy impression of Brando. Naturally no one is impressed, and Maggie doesn't have time to turn him into a big boy.

I'm not leaping over puddles for this one. There are a few amusing scenes, most of which involve Gyllenhaal attempting to fit in with "nightlife people", but the plot is sketchy and unrealistic. At least in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Gyllenhaal showed he had some acting talent. In this movie, he looks like an average guy that someone pulled off the street and tried to turn into an actor.
