Jack Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway
Great acting. Beautiful naked bodies. A story that was a bit unexpected. Weepy. Happy. Upbeat...but depressing. Lots of emotions.
I was surprised by some of the revelations, so if you haven't seen it and want to be surprised, read no more. Gyllenhaal plays a medical school drop-out that becomes a Pfizer drug rep Lothario. He hops from woman to woman until he meets Hathaway, who has discovered she has early-onset Parkinson's disease. He pursues. She resists. He continues pursuing. She fall. They have some time together. Reality hits, they part. And then..... Okay, so it's somewhat a typical story, but the Parkinson's twist is incredibly interesting...and tough.....especially since my own mother has Parkinson's......
Enjoyed it. But I'd enjoy Jake Gyllenhaal watching the grass grow. Yup.
