Love & Other Drugs
Addicted to one-night stands or dependent on one another?
Directed by Edward Zwick
Produced by Fox 2000 Pictures, Regency Enterprises
A romantic comedy-drama about two commitment-phobic people discovering genuine connection through witty banter and physical chemistry, grounded by the serious reality of illness.
Maggie is an alluring free spirit who won't let anyone – or anything – tie her down. But she meets her match in Jamie, whose relentless and nearly infallible charm serves him well with the ladies and the cutthroat world of pharmaceutical sales. Maggie and Jamie's evolving relationship takes them both by surprise, as they find themselves under the influence of the ultimate drug: love.
