Love And Other Drugs - Love And Romance

It's been a long time since i saw a movie before this movie. The reason for being Two and Half Men, which i'm trying to complete these days. However, watching the same daily again and again, just took a little bit of fun out of the it, so i went for a movie for change. Then, came the decision of what to watch, but it was a easy one for me and i went for a Romantic movie. Thus, landed on Love And Other Drugs.

Cast

The cast made it easy for me to choose this movie. I have been a fan of Anne Hathaway since her "Princess Dairies" days. She a fab actress and so beautiful. I have been following Jake too. I have a lot of his movies too especially after "Brokeback Mountain", which was the first Jake Gyllenhaal movie i saw. So, there wasn't much of a fight in going for this movie.

Plot

Jamie is a player and great with girls. He joins Pfizer as a medical rep, hoping for big money. After he becomes one of the regular, he meets Maggie, who's is effected by Parkinson and wants to live free spirited life and wouldn't stop for anyone or anything. Jamie falls for her especially to her attitude. He asks her out but gets turned down but didn't gave up. He pursues her to go out with her but gets shocked when Maggie asks him to "just do it with and get over and not to fall in love with her". Then, starts the spree of multiple sexual meaning less encounters. In between, Jamie gets one of the first opportunities to sell Viagra, which makes him one of the best in the business. Big paychecks, option to join the bigger league at the headquarters and et cetra.

But, during these meaning less sexual encounters, both fall for each other. Jamie puts in all the time and money he had to find the best doctors in the business for Maggie, however, the chances of maggie being Parkinson free were thin. After a few months of wandering from one doctors office to other, all the around the states, Maggie gives up and believes that Jamie can't live with a sick Parkinson affected girl and it will get worse and breaks up with him.

But then, does Jamie gives up too and other answers makes the climax of this beautiful love story.

Good Things

Great performances by Jake and Anne is the backbone of the movie. It's a good romantic movie and a safe bet for the people who love romance and drama. Good music and script also adds to the advantages of watching it.

Bad Things

Well, i liked this movie so i'll be biased and say it's is almost a perfect watch. However, watching though a neutral eye, people may say that they have seen similar kind of story-lines which brings a disadvantage to the movie.

Any who, this is worth a watch for the people who love watching love on the big screen. A must watch for the Jake and Anne Hathaway fans too.

7/10 from me

Alice In Wonderland -- But Nothing Wonderful About It

Hi All,

I was always excited about this movie with all the cast and Tim Button already done some superb work. The hype was big with the movie. Before, even hitting the theater the movie was said to be sure shot hit, which i doubt now. After the first weekend when the movie was released, the grossed more than Avatar in the first 3 days which came as a big surprise. I wasn't expecting that much of a turn on from this movie but the genre of fantasy movies is way much hotter than ever now a days.

Tim Burton 
This is the fourth Tim Burton movie i saw. I have loved all the first three with Sweeny Todd being my personal favorite of him till now. This is not something i'm just saying but he has something different with his way of direction. Just watch a couple of his movies like Sweeny Todd, Big Fish or anyother.....you see a difference or the touch of Tim Burton. He bring a different kind of imagination or fantasy to his movies. He is one of his kind director.

He did good work with this movie too.......but the movie lacked good script. I won't the movie lacked good direction. The movie looked really good on the screen.


Cast
Tim Burton rolled in some of the best in the biz and i think the most appropriate people to play the character. I think Tim has some contract with Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. This is the third movie they are doing together after Corpse Bride and Sweeny Todd. 
 
Johnny Depp was perfect in the Mad Hatter's character. The character is a bit wicked and kind of mad but as Alice told in the movie to hatter "All the best people are a bit mad". And do not miss the Futterwacking my Mad Hatter in the end. Some of the high points of the movie.

Helena the best i can in the lot. Her performance as the Red Queen was the one which stood out among all in the movie. She is funny, cruel and romantic and you kind of hate each of those emotion on her and think that is what she wanted to do.


 Anne Hathway though as the White Queen she didn't had much to do but she did good job. Especially the way she walks and talks in the movie. You need to watch the movie to understand what i'm saying here.


Mia Wasikowska was good but could have been better. Though she portrayed character of Alice, the tomboy kind of character and confused want to do with life, pretty well. 


The Movie


Though, for the people who have read or remember reading the book, this won't be any surprise. Though they have the story in hand but the script was pretty weak.
Sometimes the movies becomes dull. The worst or weakest part was the climax where Alice and Jabberwocky which finished pretty fast. I was hoping of some turnarounds or twists but found the climax very easy.



Verdict


Alice In Wonderland is an average movie. Good for people like me who don't remember anything about the fantasy story. Movie is a good revival for those who forgot everything. But still it could have been better.
