I wasn't expecting a lot when coming into this movie, so I guess I can say that I enjoyed it. I was expecting this movie to just be about sex after seeing the poster, but I was wrong. There was so much more.
After watching the movie (and becoming biased from a few posts on the board), I realized that there were 2 separate stories and only one interested me. The first story was about a man becoming rich because of his sales of Viagra and Pfizer. The second story is about a woman who has Parkinson's and is afraid to fall in love. Heh, I'm a young girl. Take a wild guess at what plot captured my attention more.
I liked the soft porn. Anne Hathaway was sexy. Jake Gyllenhaal was sexy. Everyone was sexy! Except for that disgusting pig of a brother, who I thought to be quite useless in this film. Sorry, Josh. I thought that the sex was done beautifully. Not too much, but it left the viewers wanting more. Or maybe that's just me. OKAY. Enough with the sex scenes.
I really, really liked the whole Parkinson's plot! It made me curious about that disease. I learned new things while watching this film. Anne executed her role greatly. She played Maggie who was suffering from that illness and was hesitant to fall in love, for reasons that are unknown to me up to now. Jamie, who is played by Jake Gyllenhaal, gets to know her and after many sexual encounters, falls in love with her. I found that sweet, although many people complained that there wasn't enough emotional contact between the two. Psh. The ending got to me, with Jamie's speech and such. I didn't cry, though. But it was good.
Nice movie. I don't get why the US version had to edit it, though. I guess I was lucky enough to watch the original unedited version. I'm giving this film a 7. It was supposed to be an 8, but the whole Viagra plot thing threw me off. But other than that, it was a good movie, I guess.
