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.

Eight months after health-care reform was signed into law, Universal Pictures courageously weighs in with a watered-down satire of the pharmaceutical industry.

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.

2.5/5

The two narrative strands don't quite mesh, and the movie stumbles badly when trying to effect the redemption of Randall through love.

2.5/4

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.

Sloppy. Jake and Anne are Great, but Boy- there's 2 plot lines, Jake as the Drug Sales rep and Anne w/ Parkinson's, that gets so skipped over during the first half of the movie, it hits you out of no where in the middle and makes the movie something else. I'm keeping the movie b/c Anne is awesome and topless. It was a movie that Could have been really good but the delivery was just too clunky and contrived.

Fun mix of desire and drugs, but it skimps on emotional depth. The playboy to deeper love arc starts too late, missing chances to squeeze real emotional juice from our hearts! Both leads' emotional transitions and killer performances earned this movie an extra 0.5 star from me!

Filthy language, pornographic, swear in the Lords name. I pushed through for the love story and cuz I paid for it but nearly shut it off a few times. Love story part was a small piece of the movie, to much smut and immorality.
