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.

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 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 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 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 needed to do was explore the relationship at the center. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 3, 2023 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway have never been better. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 8, 2022 Full Review James Croot Stuff.co.nz What pulls the film through is the impressive acting. Oct 12, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Godfrey D Its a really good movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review Bulgantamir B The director is a good person with experience Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/09/24 Full Review Lucy B This movie is sexy, smart, and touching. It hits all its notes for me and the cast is superb. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review 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 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 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 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
