Love in the time of pharmaceuticals: Hathaway, Gyllenhaal make ‘Love and Other Drugs’ worthwhile

Where Love and Other Drugs really stands out, though, is with its rather progressive commentary about our times — our need for cure-all pills, and a system (pharmaceutical and insurance companies and physicians) designed to exploit that. Turns out there is a serious message tangled up in this "she loves me, she loves me not" madness.

None of this would matter if the film and its cast weren’t so likable, especially Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway.
