L'amour et les autres drogues

« La mise en scène souple et entraînante de Zwick sert fort bien les charmants Jake Gyllenhaal et Anne Hathaway, dont la complicité à l'écran est évidente. »

« De beaux acteurs peuvent-ils sauver un long métrage atrocement prévisible qui se termine en faisant la morale à qui veut bien l'entendre? Dans un monde idéal, oui. »

« This movie could have easily drowned in a tub of gooey, romantic sap, but thanks to the addition of side characters that include a dot-com millionaire little brother (Josh Gad) and a morally absent doctor (Hank Azaria), Zwick's little saga keeps bubbling back up to the surface. »

« It's still a seriously flawed film, and one that is unlikely to get too many accolades around Oscar-time (save for Hathaway's performance), but overall, it's not bad, and moderately engrossing. »

« Zwick's Once and Again and thirtysomething portrayed emotion more honestly than many TV shows of their time. But in Love and Other Drugs, he unevenly weds the satirical and the sentimental. »

« But low farce is only one substance in the film's dispensary. Love and Other Drugs is a sometimes intoxicating, sometimes headache-inducing cocktail: a sweet, libidinous love story; a candid comedy of bedroom and workplace manners; and, most bravely, if also most jarringly, a medical melodrama involving a chronic and very serious disease. »

« Le réalisateur Edward Zwick, qui n'avait pas touché à la comédie depuis ses débuts, à la fin des années 80 (About Last Night), offre une comédie qui rappelle la devise d'un certain désodorisant : assez fort pour lui, mais conçu pour elle. »

« Hathaway and Gyllenhaal have a natural and sexy spark, and their scenes together are where the movie comes closest to its goal of being a romantic comedy for grown-ups. »
