Love, Lust and Other Drugs by Michael Opondo

I'd recommend it: to anyone who is moved by words, music and most of all who is looking to read something fun, honest and thought-provoking. Though there are a few typos- it is a good read. Maggie and Jamies evolving relationship takes them both by surprise, as they find. But she meets her match in Jamie, whose relentless and nearly infallible charm serves him well with the ladies and the cutthroat world of pharmaceutical sales. Reason: For anyone who creates any work of art, or engages in creation hoping to produce a masterpiece, then at times you feel like you are constantly at war with yourself, your creation, and the world around you-then to top it all the process of creating something wonderful just overwhelms you. Maggie is an alluring free spirit who wont let anyone or anything tie her down. My fave pieces: Can't Stop Loving You, A Walking Coffin, Be My Valentine, Suicide Note.īest of all- (if I would openly admit): Master My Craft

I'd rather make you laugh, then sound like am joking.' 'If I speak from my heart, am afraid it would be broken, Taking 'Be my Valentine'- the rhyme and use of simple words makes the piece come to life more like spoken word- you could read it along a beat From an emotionless and even tedious start, this film surprised me and is worth the price of a ticket.Love, Lust and Other Drugs is a beautiful collection of poems that delve into life's experiences and gives them both a humorous and honest meaning. Oliver Pratt's drug rep has a wonderful scene delivered over dinner and there's even a smart drunken ramble explaining what is wrong with being a doctor and a commentary on the state of the Hippocratic Oath. Love & Other Drugs is a 2010 American romantic comedy-drama film directed, produced and co-written by Edward Zwick and based on Jamie Reidys 2005 non-fiction book Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman. Even supporting characters are given moments to shine.

Commentary about battling illness, life and enjoying the moment are all relevant and poignant. What follows is a deep, sometimes moving and genuinely interesting film. As she is fleshed out (pun intended because the more Anne Hathaway nudity the better) her character forces both Gyllenhaal's character and the film itself to grow (almost Viagra like). It's Anne Hathaway's character that is the catalyst for the transformation from two dimensional rom-com to something deeper and more enjoyable. Jake Gyllenhaal's character and his alleged 'funny' fat side kick are established almost purposefully as illustrations of what's wrong with most romantic comedies. The movie starts out as a generic and even pedestrian romantic comedy and appears to be headed in the typical cliché driven direction but, fortunately, evolves in to something more.
