Jamie (Gyllenhaal) is a charming
womaniser who works as a pharmaceutical salesman. He meets young and beautiful
Maggie (Hathaway) who has Parkinson’s disease. They have wild frenzied sex. A
lot.
Theoretically I have nothing against
a rom com about Parkinson’s or the evils of the pharmaceutical industry.
However. These are really obnoxious people. The film isn’t funny or romantic.
Nor does it seem to know much about Parkinson’s. Believe me, I know about
Parkinson’s. Did they just pull a disease-of-the-week out of a hat?
There was one minute of accuracy, mild digs at the American health system and a few moments of good acting, therefore
