Love and Other Drugs

**SPOILERS AHEAD**

The advertisements would have us believe this is a funny, sexy comedy about a Viagra salesman. That’s because no one would come if they knew the movie is about a guy who falls in love with a girl with Parkinson’s. The first third is a pretty normal rom-com, and the occasionally nude leads Gyllenhaal and Hathaway are pleasant enough in their archetypes. But this quickly turns into a clichéd “disease-of-the-week” movie and doesn’t really add much to the genre.
