Currently Watching - Love and Other Drugs (2010)

I am just going to sit around the house watching movies that make me cry. lol

In 1996, Jamie Randall (Jake Gyllenhaal) is fired from a Midwest town's electronics store for having sex with his manager's girlfriend. His wealthy brother Josh (Josh Gad) finds him a job as a pharmaceutical sales representative. Jamie goes to work for Pfizer and tries to get doctors to prescribe Zoloft and Zithromax. He is rebuffed, much to the dismay of his regional manager, Bruce (Oliver Platt), who sees Jamie as his ticket to the "big leagues" of Chicago.
Bruce says if Jamie can get Dr. Knight (Hank Azaria) to prescribe Zoloft instead of Prozac, other doctors will follow his lead. Jamie uses his womanizer skills to gain access to Dr. Knight through his female staff. Dr. Knight unethically permits Jamie to observe a disrobing patient, Maggie Murdock (Anne Hathaway), who suffers from early onset Parkinson's disease.
A date with her results, lasting only minutes before she and Jamie have sex. Jamie is later beaten up by top-selling Prozac rep Trey (Gabriel Macht), one of Maggie's ex-lovers, who warns him to stay away from her and the doctors. That night, Jamie is unable to get an erection. Maggie teasingly says he should use the new erectile dysfunction drug that his company has developed. Bruce confirms that such a drug, to be called Viagra, is about to be marketed. Jamie soon starts selling Viagra, an instant success.

Jamie wants a committed relationship, but Maggie refuses. While she helps senior citizens onto a bus bound for Canada to get cheap prescription drugs, Jamie shows up. They argue but the next day when the bus comes back, Maggie is touched that he waited.
Jamie spends nights at Maggie's apartment. One night, he tells Maggie that he loves her although he had never said it to anyone in his life. Jamie has a slight panic attack and Maggie calms him by saying she "said 'I love you' to a cat once".
Jamie catches his brother masturbating to a sex tape that he and Maggie had filmed. Jamie asks her to go to a Chicago medical conference with him. She ends up at a Parkinson's discussion group across the street. She is moved by the people and their stories. Jamie meets a man whose wife is in the final stages of the disease. Jamie asks for advice about Maggie, and the man tells him to run. After the convention, Maggie tells him how much she loves him.

Jamie starts researching Parkinson's. He takes Maggie to a specialist to have tests done. Jamie becomes upset because an appointment was rescheduled after they had flown in to see the doctor. Maggie walks out because she sees that Jamie can only love her if there's a hope that one day there will be a cure. She breaks up with him.
Some time later, Jamie goes to a restaurant and runs into Maggie who is on a date. Bruce shows up and reveals Jamie has been promoted to the Chicago office. Jamie realizes he wants to be with Maggie, but her boss tells him she has left for Canada to obtain drugs. Jamie flags down her bus. He tells Maggie how she makes him a better person, that he loves her and needs her. She starts to cry and says she will need him more. Jamie decides not to take the job in Chicago to attend medical school.
