“Love and Other Drugs” is Effectively Heartfelt
Fueled by the fine performances from Gyllenhaal and Hathaway, Edward Zwick’s Love and Other Drugs is an entertaining comedy/drama that unfortunately misses the mark with its comic intentions, but finds success and is surprisingly engaging and moving in its heartfelt dramatic moments.
