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.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway make a charming pair, and Love & Other Drugs is one of the best interpretations of urban romantic comedy.

Love & Other Drugs isn't as on-point as it could be, but its noble intentions and perfectly sweet performances from Hathaway and Gyllenhaal are adorable. Its take on love through sickness merely skims the surface, but the idea and questions that accompany that kind of situation are interesting to see in a light, romcom scenario.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

It's okay at best. Quite repetitive storyline, it's way too long for it's plot. The thing that I dislike the most is that the guy constantly needs to make up for them falling apart, even tho she fucked up nearly everything and didn't say sorry even once throughout the whole movie.

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.

Rated: 2/5

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

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
