Ultimately, the unsettled tone undermines the romantic conclusion. Still, you've got to admire the ambition it shares with its cocky hero.
Anna Smith, Time Out

But in Love & Other Drugs, [Zwick] and Herskovitz find a groove that delivers wry writing and smart cultural observation.
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
Fresh
A slick weepie made by smart guys who want you to know they're better than the schlockmeisters.
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

as many weak spots, but what it delivers at its core is as indelible as (and a lot more explicit than) the work of such legendary teams as Clark Gable and Joan Crawford, Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn.
