Love & Other Drugs

What to Know

Critics Consensus

It's a pleasure to see Hollywood produce a romance this refreshingly adult, but Love and Other Drugs struggles to find a balance between its disparate plot elements.

Love & Other Drugs | Rotten Tomatoes (1) J. R. Jones Chicago Reader Eight months after health-care reform was signed into law, Universal Pictures courageously weighs in with a watered-down satire of the pharmaceutical industry. Jan 4, 2011 Full Review Love & Other Drugs | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Robbie Collin News of the World At least we now know why Anne Hathaway's co-presenting this year's Oscars. She's not gonna make it to that stage any other way. Rated: 2/5 Jan 4, 2011 Full Review Love & Other Drugs | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Philip French Guardian The two narrative strands don't quite mesh, and the movie stumbles badly when trying to effect the redemption of Randall through love. Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 3, 2011 Full Review Love & Other Drugs | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Even with its average runtime, the movie feels overlong, as the story has far too many distracting, underdeveloped subplots when all it neededto do was explore the relationship at the center. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 3, 2023 Full Review Love & Other Drugs | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway have never been better.

Rob A A romantic drama with a few good scenes, but mostly it underwhelms. Having said that - if you know anyone with Parkinson's, or have any involvement with that horrible disease, the picture will no doubt resonate. Anne Hathaway was very good. (Oliver Platt looked awful!) Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/01/24 Full Review Eye C This is an interesting picture, that starts as a wild party and turns into something different, more serious and moving. The thing is that Mrs. Hathaway still can’t find something to cry or suffer in a convincing way. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/18/24 Full Review Max W Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway make a charming pair, and Love & Other Drugs is one of the best interpretations of urban romantic comedy. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review Timothy D Love & Other Drugs isn't as on-point as it could be, but its noble intentions and perfectly sweet performances from Hathaway and Gyllenhaal are adorable. Its take on love through sickness merely skims the surface, but the idea and questions that accompany that kind of situation are interesting to see in a light, romcom scenario. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/24 Full Review Vladan A It's okay at best. Quite repetitive storyline, it's way too long for it's plot. The thing that I dislike the most is that the guy constantly needs to make up for them falling apart, even tho she f*cked up nearly everything and didn't say sorry even once throughout the whole movie. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/15/24 Full Review ebins e I saw a low rating for this movie. I started to not believing in rating anymore.. Good movie.. Loved it.. Especially maggie murdock.. 🫂❤️ Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
