Who saw "Love and other drugs", the 2010 romantic comedy with a PD theme?

[Parkinson_Schmarkinson]

AS a brand-new parkie I saw this movie twice and thought it had some positive messages about our ridiculous disease. Any opinions out there?

[jsp3]

I did, it was really good. When I chose it from Netflix, I had no idea it was about Parkinson's.

[jazzfan53]

Yes, it was good to see a Hollywood movie show the life of a young onset parkie. Pretty realistic.

[Parkinson_Schmarkinson]

It took a hard look at the pharmaceutical industry too.

good review by a pd guy:

I SAS it together with my husbond and my sister. We liked it very much

[christinemc]

No, but it is on my list of films I want to see

[Hidden]

Thanks. I'll find it and watch it. Hadn't heard about it.

[Court]

Have never heard of this film, but I will certainly find it and watch it. Thanks

[nonnie]

Great movie! I laughed and cried ...........not one I would watch with my daughters.

[PatV]

It has nudity and swearing, spoiler alert. I LOVED it. The Parkies demonstrating brought tears to my eyes and I think Anne Hathaway captured it as a YOPD trying to open her pills after a scene!

[Parkinson_Schmarkinson in reply to PatV]

Oh, it is very sexy, take care who you see it with. I saw it on a DVD from from Spain (I won it in a parkinson poetry contest) and the package sported the solemn warning that it was inappropriate for children under seven years of age!

enjoyed the movie seemed realistic. I thought the viagra scenes were funny.

I'm curious. Does Viagra help when you have PD? I think I'm too old for Viagra anyway, so I guess It doesn't make any difference. Just curious.

[PatV in reply to Owenbob]

I don't know but the movie's point about Viagra was that millions were spent and earned on Viagra and on PD--eh, not so much!

It was a great movie

went to the cinema with my husband . we enjoyed it . there was alot of comedy and it made me laugh but also cried . it was very well put together to show that even young people can have parkinsons and i wish that there was more films like it to raise awareness .

I enjoyed the movie. It hit on so many truths. All the tests. I agree not to be watched with young people. I laughed and I cried. I had early onset. My husband could not deal with the PD and divorced me after being married for

37 years.

[Parkinson_Schmarkinson]

37 years, and then he can't stay the course. That's cold.

Best wishes to you and thx for your note.
