Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert The director is Edward Zwick, a considerable filmmaker. He's essentially working with a screenplay (by Charles Randolph, Marshall Herskovitz and himself) that doesn't work. Given that problem, you have to observe that he is a capable filmmaker even in bad weather. | 13 | |
eye Weekly Kieran Grant If only Pfizer sold a drug to help balance real-talk frankness — and annoying levels of aren’t-we-bold? casual nudity and humping — with slow-clap, third-act idealism. | 5 | |
Rolling Stone Peter Travers If you think Hathaway and Gyllenhaal are worth watching in anything, try Love and Other Drugs. It puts that theory to the test. | 10 | |
