Our take on Love & Other Drugs

Edward Zwick's 2010 romantic comedy-drama pairs Maggie, a free spirit determined never to be tied down, with Jamie, a charming pharmaceutical salesman whose easy confidence works on women and clients alike. Their sparring attraction deepens into something neither expected, set against the sharp-elbowed world of drug sales in the late 1990s. The film blends adult romance with a lightly satirical look at the pharmaceutical industry, giving its leads room for both banter and vulnerability. Viewers who like their love stories grown-up, funny and unafraid of complication are the target; those wanting a chaste, tidy romance should note its frankness about sex and illness. A likable, adult-leaning date-night pick.
