The comedy is faced-paced and witty, the drama is heavy, and the romance is bewitching, though too much for real life, and of course predictable. Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal have great chemistry as Maggie and Jamie. She's a basketcase sick girl who pushes everyone away. He's a playboy drug rep who's still not quite sure what he's going to make of himself. But they work together, and they somehow manage to hold together this movie that has a lot going on. Lots of characters, lots of subplots, lots of social commentary. It's not all necessary, but it's there, so we have to deal with it.
Bottom line: not intellectually challenging, but good for what it is. One of the better movies of its genre that I've seen in a while.
I never did see this!
