Love and Other Drugs: Randomly disconnected

It was not exactly what I expected. Yes it’s a love story… but the title gave away more than I thought it did. There is a large dose of prescription drugs in this movie-- more so then I would have expected—that both Jake and Anne’s characters are dependent on… too bad I didn’t have some to numb me out through this movie. I do hate when trailers set you up to expect one thing and it turns out to be quite another. In this case, what masquerades as a light-hearted romantic story (doesn’t even guarantee comedy, which I respect) turns out to be more of a heavy and depressing story with romantic bookends.
Verdict: Just wait to see that much of Jake Gyllenhaal (Rent)
