Adapted from Jamie Reidy’s best-selling memoir about the Viagra gold rush in the late 1990s, it stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a womanizing pharmaceutical representative who falls in lust, and then in love, with a beautiful young woman (Anne Hathaway) with Stage 1 Parkinson’s disease. It would be a plunge deep into disease-of-the-week territory, if not for the raunch — sex scenes, sex tapes, nudity, an orgy — that Mr. Zwick has seasoned the film with and that may leave some in the audience wondering whether they are watching a film about Viagra, or on Viagra.
