Love and Other Drugs

The trailer to Love and Other Drugs, based on the book Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman, written by Jamie Reidy.  Directed by Edward Zwick, known in the movie world for big guys epics like Glory, The Last Samurai and Blood Diamond, and as the TV impresario of heartfelt dramadies, like thirtysomething, My So-Called Life and Once & Again; this is his first film that seems to play like his acclaimed television hits.  It's also a Brokeback reunion of sorts for Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway.  I can't tell much from the trailer; it plays like a fairly standard romantic comedy, even with the Viagra plot, but there's already early Oscar buzz for Hathaway, who reportedly plays a women with Parkinson's.  We will all have to wait until November 24 to see if it really has the goods.
