Certificate: 15
Running Time: 112 minutes
Director: Edward Zwick
Jamie Randall (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a ladies man and med school dropout at a loose end in life. When his brother gets him a job as a pharmaceutical salesman, he meets his match in Maggie Murdock (Anne Hathaway). Surprised to find that this free spirit wants exactly what he does (lots of meaningless sex!), Jamie finds this girl becoming a big part of his life. For anyone who has the tendency to blush easily, you must be warned that there are a lot of steamy sex scenes. The acting was great, and the whole movie produced fairly well, but it lacked something that I can't quite work out. It also seemed very long winded, and the usual 'will they, won't they' ending of this kind of film was more of a 'it's on, it's off, it's back on, it's back off' kind of thing. A few laughs, a few tears, and a few times I thought about how bored I was. An average watch that has been hyped over far too much, in my opinion.
