Movie Review

Ok so on Saturday I went to see a movie with my mom because it was my first day back in town and it's our "thing." We decided to choose a very low maintenance Romantic Comedy. Jake Gyllenhaal is never bad to look at so despite the fact that I cannot stand Anne Hathaway, we chose Love and Other drugs.

Now this is what I thought the movie was going to be about: An asshole guy meets a kooky girl who gives him a run for his money. She is arty and has a cool loft apartment and he is taken by her "I don't care" attitude. That is until he starts to make big money as a Viagra sales rep and is instantly surrounded by gorgeous girls and their accompanying gash. At this point Hathaway will become jealous because she has realized she is holding him back and can no longer compete for his affections. He lets her go and then immediately regrets it, rushing to meet her before she leaves town in a very romantic grand gesture. She takes him back and then they live happily ever after in her kooky loft apartment. The end.

What the movie actually was about: An asshole guy who doesn't really seem like an asshole is hired as a drug sales rep. He goes to the doctor to sell some zoloft and pretends he is an intern. There he meets a kooky Hathaway who is getting medication for her PARKINSON'S DISEASE (heavy). They then start having guilt-free no strings attached sex, even though he actually wants a commitment. Finally he brings over chinese food so she starts to see him more as a boyfriend (this actually is probably based in reality). They have lots of raunchy sex to prove that both actors are straight and sexy? Then they tape it, Gyllenhaals brother jerks off to this footage later. Anyway I digress, Jake starts selling Viagra and making a lot of money and Anne becomes an even bigger bitch because she runs out of her pills one day. She gets drunk and he hold her. Then they go to Chicago where Anne meets more people with Parkinson's and Jake freaks out because he knows one day he will have to change her diapers. Despite the fact that he freaks out he decides to find a cure by flying Anne all over the country. His credit card gets maxed out and Anne gets annoyed. They break up. Jake gets a promotion but just before he leaves he finds the sex tape and Anne looks pretty in it and says she's happy. Jake goes and gets her off the bus that is just taking her to Canada for the weekend with some senior citizens. They get back together, Jack gives up his promotion, they move into her apartment and wait for the day that Anne will start needing diapers. The end.

The movie was over two hours and it actually made my skin crawl. Now I can say for certainty, Jake Gyllenhaal is gay and Anne Hathaway's eyes freak me out.
