Maggie (Anne Hathaway) is an alluring free spirit who won't let anyone - or anything - tie her down because of a problem that she has been facing her whole life. Jamie (Jake Gyllenhaal), is a ladies man whose charm serves him well in the competitive world of pharmaceutical sales. Maggie and Jamie's feelings take them both by surprise at different phases in their life as they find themselves in love and wondering why…. and how.
Fast Forward until 45 minutes of this film have gone by and you will bypass a lot of what makes this film an “R” rated movie….after that, its your everyday Romantic Comedy. A little less comedy than romance and there is a lot more drama to fill in those funny moments. I think any significant other who is dealing with chronic illness in their relationship in some manner would appreciate this film. However, like I said, the first 45 minutes are a little too gratuitous for my small town conservative tastes…..
