Love and Other Drugs

Now this is the kind of feel-good movie that you would watch on a boring Tuesday evening when can't find/don't want anything to do and all you need is a pretty picture to cheer you up. 

Love and Other Drugs is a comedy/romantic movie set in 1996-1997 that tells the story of the free spirited twenty-something Maggie suffering from Parkinson's desease and the charming (but ever so cute) drug-rep Dean whose relationship evolve from "just sleeping together" to falling into the unplumbed depth of love. The story is accompanied by the defining pop songs of the 90's, and some of the typical fashion of the decade, such as Doc Martens and denim dungarees worn with only a bra underneath. The chemistry between Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal is unbelievable strong, they are a real eyecandy that you cannot get bored of, not even for a second during the almost two-hour runtime of the movie. 

Although, at first  Love and Other Drugs seems nothing but yet-another dumb blockbuster with  hardly any plot and an unrealistic over-the-top perfect couple played by overpayed A-list Hollywood stars, it is a really good romcom with well-written characters, great chemistry, lots of nudity and sex scenes - all beautifully composed, and the nostalgic scenery of the 90's. This movie is absolutely worth watching, and not just once, but on numerous Tuesdays when all you need is a good old pick-me-up/eyecandy movie.
