Hello folks it's me again, your favorite Internet critic that no one likes to read. Today I would just like to start off by saying Happy Thanksgiving to all of you out there, I hope that you are celebrating with family and friends and that you are all having a blessed holiday. Now on to the business at had, LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS.
The Who: It has the lovely, the sexy, the talented Anne Hathaway, and then the male lead is Jake Gyllenhaal who gives one of his best performances. Also hanging out in the movie are Oliver Platt, Hank Azaria, and Judy Greer. Now for me and my money Anne Hathaway is really turning out to be one of the better young actresses in Hollywood. And I would have never thought this was going to be the case when she was doing THE PRINCESS DIARIES. She plays the role of unavailable girl that all she wants in a relationship is sex to perfection. And for me this is the role Jake Gyllenhaal was born to play. he is this guy that comes from a good family and just seems to fly through life and the only thing he is really good as is banging chicks. But he's not the super cool guy that bangs the chicks. He is the guy that is just a prick and pretty much a pussy but he just happens to be able to push all the right buttons with guys.
I love this movie, I pretty much just love every minute of it. I was pleasantly surprised by the movie because it just doesn't at all play the way it looks on the previews. It isn't just this romantic comedy kind of love movie, it is much more. These aren't just two beautiful people that fall in love and some random road block gets in the way just before they make up at the end and live happily ever after. This movie is about two real people that are damaged in real ways. One damaged by himself and his family and the other damaged by a disease and how she has had to become because of said disease. This is not just a cookie cutter movie, it is so much movie and I love that about this movie.
Unexpected surprises about this movie: If you have ever wanted to see what Anne Hathaway's breasts look like this is the movie for you. I mean wow, they are awesome and you see them often in this movie, oh yeah and there is plenty of Jake for all of you girls out there. Thing that could have killed this movie: The brother of Gyllenhaal's character is suppose to play the comedic relief and boy is he not. He steals a lot of scenes in this movie and it is not at all in a good way. After a while I just felt like yelling I get it, now lets get back to the movie.
This is a very good movie with a very good cast, and a story that is both funny and touching. I highly recommend this movie to any of you this holiday season.
Until next time, don't start nothin', won't be nothin'.
