I have never reviewed a movie before, but I disliked this one enough that I felt the need to express myself. I was really expecting a lot from this one because of my respect for Jake and Anne, but whether it is because they are both so good-looking and successful in real life, or because the production was that bad, I found the whole movie completely unbelievable and I was incredibly disappointed.

There was not much in this movie I could relate to. I am in love, but I didn't feel happy for them, especially not when Jake has to go sleep with other women just to know how he feels for Anne, or when Anne keeps taking off her clothes and jumping him and then telling him to leave her alone. Really, the nudity in this movie seemed there just to distract the audience from the fact that the dialogue was actually really unoriginal. In an interview I read with Anne, she says she thinks nudity is important to the movie because both characters express themselves through their bodies while at the same time, shutting off their minds. I get her explanation, but I didn't get this from the movie.

The really good parts centered around the discussion of Parkinsons and the world of pharmaceutical drugs. However, I feel that the actors involved wanted to produce a blockbuster with lots of boobs, not a serious movie that centers around these issues. The movie was reaching to get to a point that it could never achieve. I personally came away feeling that I wasted my time.
