Smooth-talking playboy Jamie Randall (Jake Gyllenhaal, Brokeback Mountain) is on a fast track to the top of the pharmaceutical sales industry – promoting the miracle drug Viagra by day and charming the ladies by night.
However, Jamie is taken aback when he meets Maggie Murdock (Academy Award®-nominee Anne Hathaway, The Devil Wears Prada), a radiantly sexy free spirit who doesn’t allow her treatment for Parkinson’s get in the way of living her life.
As Jamie and Maggie juggle their respective medications, they are forced to reassess their budding romance when they realize that love is the ultimate high.
I watched this movie the other night while my husband opted to watch something else downstairs. No doubt it’s more of a “chick-flick” but when he came to bed I was still watching the movie, and he cracked up at some of the scenes like I did so if you watch it with your hubby, he shouldn’t complain too much. Besides, Anne Hathaway has a few nude scenes in it, which should keep him watching as well!
Anne Hathaway’s Maggie is a tragic, wounded, character that we love on sight. Gyllenhaal, despite his faults, is likeable as well and the audience can’t help but hope these two lost souls (each for their own reasons and fighting their own demons) find love in the end. I liked the movie and would definitely suggest it to a girlfriend, and leave it up to her as to whether she wants her husband to join her and gawk at Hathaway’s flawless body or not. 😉
