The trailer for the movie (which opens November 24) is below:
I have long wished that Zwick would head in a James L. Brooks direction into smart relationship comedy/drama territory. At last he seems to be bringing some of that laser sensibility to Love and Other Drugs, which stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a cocky drug salesman on a career high from the success of viagra, and the sharp woman who has his number (Anne Hathaway). Tragedy ensues (spoiler alert!) in the form of a debilitating disease (paging Love Story). It is one of the trickiest high-wire acts to pull off--asking the audience to laugh one minute, cry the next, while never losing believability.

Anne Thompson , this is one of my most anticipated films of this year. The test screening reviews have been spectacular. Men who hate romantic comedies are praising this movie. I wouldn't be surprised if Hathaway & Gyllenhaal are both nominated for Academy Awards - along with the movie for Best Film. Because Anne & Jake have already been nominated before , it would be nice if Oliver Platt is recognized with an Oscar nomination. I hear Platt is once-again superb in this dramedy.
P.S. I trust the wonderful team of Zwick and Herskovitz. They created, produced, wrote, and directed some of the best ground-breaking tv shows of all time.
