Today I would like to share with you my opinion about a movie that despite being from 2010, I just saw it yesterday. I am a fan of comedies, so I made the decision to watch it. I am referring to: Love and Other Drugs.

At first I thought I was in the presence of a movie that made use of ridiculous or exaggerated gestures to generate laughter; I couldn't have been more wrong. It takes a very well used romantic turn that little by little traces patterns. Personally I think it becomes much more profound the romantic situations than the light comedic lines that dissipate as the plot picks up steam.

The story follows Jamie Randall, who is a drug salesman used to getting everything he sets his mind to in a somewhat peculiar way, brilliantly played by Jake Gyllenhaal, and Maggie Murdock, a young woman suffering from Parkinson's disease, played by the beautiful Anne Hathaway. The performance of both is captivating, achieving a gradual evolution. This keeps you attentive to the situations and events they go through. The script is so well organized that without reading the synopsis there is no doubt that it is based on real events.

It touches on sensitive issues such as love, intimacy and illness. The depiction of Maggie's Parkinson's disease adds more realism and depth to the film. It touches on sensitive issues of those who see it. Making me reflect on the fragility of life. It certainly manages to hit our feelings and can make us cry at some point or another

The film highlights the commercialization of drugs and how this affects people on a personal level. Although they address serious issues, this one manages to balance seriousness with moderate humor. It is not a perfection of cinema, but it does manage to penetrate the viewer. So much so that you feel empathy for the characters. For that love that we need and want so much in difficult circumstances.

Jake Gyllenhaal offers a magnetic performance that makes you fall in love with his character despite his flaws. Anne Hathaway, on the other hand, shines with her convincing performance. Achieving a chemistry, more than convincing; realistic.

The soundtrack, while not a standout individually, adequately complements the excellent performances.

Love and Other Drugs is not just a romantic comedy, it is a look at human feelings. The narrative and the good performances make it a film you must see, mainly in the company of loved ones. Because, for sure, it will leave you a little sentimental. If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend it, you won't be disappointed.
