OMG !!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful movie
i Like that very mutch
Totally watched this movie because Jake is hella gorgeous here! and I wasn't disappointed at all! the dude is so good-looking it's almost unreal ;)
Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway's chemistry is probably my favourite thing about this movie. Hope to see them acting alongside each other again in the future!
Good movie worths a watch especially for acting perfomances from Jake and Anne.Nothing special here though :)
nothing special, but so nice
anne hathaway and jake gyllenhaal are always amazing and in this movie is not different
this could have been good but was filled with so many cheap feels.
I understand that I'm in a minority here, but I found that the egregious titillation in this movie clashed with the heartfelt and serious takeaway of it all. No, nudity is not inherently bad and it serves its purpose just fine in many other movies; I just don't believe it belonged in this one, especially to such an extent. I can think of two other recent films I watched where I was actually surprised there was no true nudity involved, just "smart shots" that captured the point perfectly well without. I suppose there's the argument that "boobs" shouldn't detract from a film, but I counter that they also shouldn't simply add to one. I would want people to be interested in my work because they heard it was good, not because they heard it had Anne Hathaway's tits (nudity in general) in it. I myself like tits and I agree that Anne is really beautiful, both naked and not, but that on its own being good doesn't make it (nudity) good for just any movie. It made for two very different tones and they just didn't mesh well for me in this instance. If they'd been able to blend that kind of raunchy comedy into the heartfelt drama better somehow, I imagine I might have given this a 7 or 8. That said, a standing ovation for both Jake and Anne. They were brilliant together!
I love a good romantic comedy, and I appreciate how this one tried to shine a light on Parkinson’s disease. But the plot was basic, the jokes not that funny, and the ending felt like he was making some kind of sacrifice to be with her. No apology for how he behaved before, how he walked away. Not my favorite. Plus, the more I think about it, did Pfizer pay for this movie?
Just another pixie girl having to be the mom/therapist for his partner. But give her Parkinson and make it her whole personality and at the same time make it irrelevant. They didn't care about Parkinson (the whole convention scene was very nice, but that's the only honesty we saw about it), the just wanted a random disease to give Maggie a reason to be unattainable, cynical and aloof.
Also, how was she paying for all those meds? She was an artist, but we never see her selling her work? She didn't seem to struggle a lot to pay for her meds. Yes, there are the trips to Canada, but???? This movie was weak, it lacked courage to make a bold statement against the predatory ways of pharmaceutical and health care industry. It didn't even want to go near there, and so we're left with a lot of questions about Maggie.
Favourite line:
Sometimes, the thing you want most doesn't happen. And sometimes, the thing you never expect does. Like giving up my job in Chicago and everything and deciding to stay and apply to med school. I don't know. You meet thousands of people and none of them really touch you. And then you meet one person and your life is changed forever.
Did love this icl, was an obsession for a week then got over it.
Not a big fan of Hathaway but she's adorable in this one.
"It's not a disease, it's a Russian novel."
I watched this movie only because it had Jake and Anne in it. I had no idea it was going to be about a charmer who is in the "cutthroat world of pharmaceutical sales." This movie had a few moments that made me laugh, and Jake and Anne look good together.
Wasn't a huge fan of this movie, it's not terrible mostly only enjoyable cause of Gyllenhaal and Hathaway but felt kinda cheesy or cheap probably better for people who are really into romantic films or just hopeless romantics not for me.
the film is decent and nothing is so special except for the meaning I can infer from it ( not sure if this is also what the film wants to express.) When you think you are taking care for the others, you are actually taking care of yourself.

It was a nice movie. Nothing special, but Anne and Jake are both great.
