Love & Other Drugs (2010)
Addicted to one-night stands or dependent on one another?
Maggie is an alluring free spirit who won't let anyone – or anything – tie her down. But she meets her match in Jamie, whose relentless and nearly infallible charm serves him well with the ladies and the cutthroat world of pharmaceutical sales. Maggie and Jamie's evolving relationship takes them both by surprise, as they find themselves under the influence of the ultimate drug: love.

What kind of watch this is
Love & Other Drugs is a 2010 romantic comedy directed by Edward Zwick. It runs 112 minutes and follows Jamie, a pharmaceutical sales rep whose charm is almost infallible, and Maggie, a free spirit who refuses to be tied down. Their evolving relationship surprises both of them, dragging them into the cutthroat world of big pharma and the unpredictable territory of romance. The tagline asks if they are addicted to one-night stands or dependent on one another.
What the critics said
Rotten Tomatoes sits at 49% as of November 2024, with an average rating of 5.8/10 from October 2021. Metacritic lands on 55 out of 100 as of November 2025, a score that suggests the reviews are mixed or average. The consensus is that the film is a refreshingly adult romance, though it struggles to balance its disparate plot elements. Roger Ebert praised the leads, noting it "obtains a warm, lovable performance from Anne Hathaway." Kirk Honeycutt of The Hollywood Reporter found the energy manic, wandering from drug sales to Viagra before concluding in a conventional embrace. Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave it a B-.
What came next for the cast
Jake Gyllenhaal moved from Donnie Darko to Spider-Man: Far From Home. Anne Hathaway swapped The Devil Wears Prada for Interstellar. Oliver Platt went from 2012 to Chef. Hank Azaria dropped Friends for The Smurfs. The timeline suggests a shift, but correlation is not causation. It just looks that way on a resume.
