Worth buying just for Anne Hathaway's nude scenes alone. But the film itself is pretty good too.
Worth buying, for all of the screentime that Jake's ass gets. Will definitely get the Blu.
Not bad flick but not great either, hathaway is well worth seeing nude, I k ow she's done nudity before but it's better here, I may rent it again but it's not purchase worthy IMO. I like how they say funny extended deleted scenes
This looked stupid. Have no desire to see it. Both actors are okay though.
I can't decide whether I want to see this movie or not. Either the critics love it or hate it. For example, BDK Reviews gave it a 4.5 out of 5 and said it was one of the best romantic comedies of the year. Dustin Putman gave it a 1.5 out of 4 and called it one of the most dull romantic comedies of the year. I know, I know. Not really credible sources, but still.
Give it a shot at least. I fall in the middle, it's just good enough. Definitely not terrible though
Yeah, I can see people criticizing it because of the tonal shifts (satire of the prescription drug industry, '80s sex comedy, and semi-tragic romantic comedy). But I enjoyed it. Both Gyllenhaal and Hathaway have sparks and sexy as hell.
I could do without Josh Gad's fat butt. Talk about ugh.

This is alright, but nothing as special as it promised to be.

You've got that right!
Anyway, enjoyed the movie a lot. Will definitely purchase it eventually.

I'm not opposed to any one of these ideas, but I think having them all competing with one another made it pretty hard to establish a solid tone for the movie, or even a real connection with the main characters. In my opinion, it just didn't work.
Having said all that, most girls seemed to love it and the aforementioned tatties get an A+, so I guess it's not all bad.
