Love & Other Drugs is a 2010 American Sex Comedy film directed and co-written by Edward Zwick, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway.Jamie Randall (Gyllenhaal) is a Viagra salesman who falls in love with Maggie Murdock (Hathaway), a young woman who suffers from Parkinson's Disease; they start a relationship based on sex but end up actually falling in love with each other, to their mutual chagrin. A minor subplot involves Jamie's fat, nerdy brother Josh (Josh Gad), who gets kicked out of the house by his lover and moves in with Jamie, thereby disrupting his intimate life. Hilarity Ensues.The film is probably best known for its Playing Against Type role for Hathaway, star of such Girl Next Door roles as The Princess Diaries movies, and for the amount of nudity and sex scenes it contains, to the point it can almost be considered Porn with Plot. | |

Defrosting Ice Queen | |
| Love & Other Drugs / int_28c1d543 | comment |
Defrosting Ice Queen: Subverted. Jamie eventually does convince Maggie to be his girlfriend, but she doesn't change her behavior until the very end. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Sure, Jamie and Maggie end up together, but they're both very much aware that she will eventually lose all physical and mental coordination. | |

Modesty Bedsheet | |
| Love & Other Drugs / int_6a3bedce | comment |
Modesty Bedsheet: Averted. Jamie and Maggie have a ton of sex but don’t bother to cover up. When, in a moment of brief shyness, she pulls her sheet up to her collarbone, Jamie gets off the bed and it uncovers her boob and she doesn’t bother to cover it up again. | |

Present-Day Past | |
| Love & Other Drugs / int_82a631b8 | comment |
Present-Day Past: There's the introduction of Viagra and Prozac, and there's the bit with '90s ghetto blasters at the start. Nothing else sets this is '96. One character justifies being addicted to Internet porn by saying "Isn't everybody?" No, not in '96 they weren't. Not even in '97. Seriously, cast your mind back to how much porn there was on the Internet when the first Grand Theft Auto came out. There's even a scene Josh compares Jamie's penis to the Eye of Sauron, back before there was a common consensus on what that actually looked like, it being 5 years before The Lord of the Rings was a movie. Not to mention in the beginning of the film, there's Flat-screen LCD TV's in the background. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Love & Other Drugs / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: A homeless man keeps showing up to take the Prozac Jamie dumps in the trash and once makes an offhand comment that he has a job interview later before scampering off with the drugs. We had seen him take the drugs repeatedly, but the relevance of this fact is never addressed. | |

| Love & Other Drugs / int_88bc1e5 | comment |
Friendly Tickle Torture: Jamie attacks Maggie with tickles during a scene on the couch. Like pretty much everything else they do in the movie, it ends with them having sex. | |

Sexy Coat Flashing: Maggie comes over to Jaime's apartment, and opens her coat, revealing that she's naked underneath. Then she notices that Josh is in the room. But - much to his disappointment - Josh didn't see her well because he did not have his glasses on. | |

| Love & Other Drugs / int_a30b9c71 | comment |
Lady Killer In Love: This is what the movie is about, and what makes it sweet. Jamie is initially a womanizer, and he's happy when Maggie wants a sex-only relationship. However, he still ends up developing feelings for her. When he first says "I love you" to her, he has a panic attack, because he never said this to anyone before. | |

Dramatic Irony | |
| Love & Other Drugs / int_ab5eea65 | comment |
Dramatic Irony: Jamie works as a Drug Rep for Pfizer, the creator of Viagra, and he soon begins successfully selling the drug. Later on, he engages in a threesome at a party, taking Viagra to stimulate himself; he ends up having a negative reaction to the drug, which leaves him with a painfully erect and extremely sore penis, forcing him to go to the hospital. Yes, it turns out that the sex obsessed Viagra salesmen can't take Viagra himself. | |

Interchangeable Asian Cultures | |
| Love & Other Drugs / int_d5a060a8 | comment |
Interchangeable Asian Cultures: One character makes a terrible, "sexy" pun about her friend's race as a lead-up to a threesome. "She's Thai, and I'm Thai-curious." Which is made worse by the fact that the girl is blatantly Filipino. | |

Product Placement | |
| Love & Other Drugs / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: For Pfizer and their products (mostly Viagra), but its somewhat subverted in that the entire company comes off looking like a bunch of douchebags. And lots of Bud and Bud Light abound. | |
