Love and Other Drugs

Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal strip down and fall in love in this sometimes funny, often cheesy romance. Gyllenhaal plays Jamie, a smooth-talking drug rep who gets more than he bargained for when he hits on Maggie (Hathaway), a Parkinson's patient who's not interested in a serious relationship. Overall, the film is entertaining and has its sweet moments — if you can forgive a very clichéd ending. DVD extras include extended and deleted scenes, and featurettes with Gyllenhaal and Hathaway.

James Franco plays real-life hiker Aron Ralston, who found himself trapped under a boulder during an outing in Utah. Since he didn't tell anyone of his whereabouts, the film dramatizes the five days Aron spent before he finally amputated his arm to free himself. The arm-cutting scene isn't for the faint of heart, but the film is worth watching for Franco's Oscar-nominated performance. DVD bonus features include deleted scenes and feature commenter with director Danny Boyle.

Does Your Family's Approval of Your Relationships Matter?

In an interview with the Guardian, Jake Gyllenhaal said women have to meet sister Maggie Gyllenhaal's approval for a relationship to work.


In an interview with the Guardian, Jake Gyllenhaal said women have to meet sister Maggie Gyllenhaal's approval for a relationship to work.

I am inherently a little brother — that's just my nature. It has to do with my sister being very strong and wanting to protect me. It's the natural order of things. That's the way my sister feels about me in every aspect of my life — my work, my relationships. Women have to pass her test. That's very hard for girlfriends.

What he's trying to say, I think, is Taylor Swift got his sister's A-OK when he brought her home for Thanksgiving, so the rest of the world should lay off. But we're all about ourselves here — do you need your family's approval for a relationship to work?

Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal Stow Away on a Lovely Cruise

Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway took in the Sydney sights today, enjoying a boat cruise around the harbor followed by lunch with friends.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway took in the Sydney sights today, enjoying a boat cruise around the harbor followed by lunch with friends. The onscreen lovers are taking care of their promotional duties Down Under for Love and Other Drugs, which has also left time for Jake to sample the local food scene during his stay. The December birthday boy is looking forward to turning 30 later this month, but before he reaches that major milestone he can help celebrate girlfriend Taylor Swift's 21st next week. Anne, meanwhile, has her eye on her upcoming Oscar duties, and if she takes the advice of eight-time host Billy Crystal we'll see her sashaying across the stage in sneakers instead of Brian Atwood pumps.

Get Anne Hathaway's Lovely Lipstick Look

Anne Hathaway wore this simple but classic look at a Love and Other Drugs press conference this morning.

Anne Hathaway wore this simple but classic look at a Love and Other Drugs press conference this morning. I adore a lot of what she does with her hair and makeup already, but this look is so charming in part because it's straightforward, easy to re-create, and not the least bit overdone. Cerise lipstick and liquid eyeliner are a winning combination, so check out the widget below for my Anne-style lipstick picks.

Jake Gyllenhaal Sticks by Anne and Smiles at Taylor Swift Questions in Sydney

Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal were once again cuddled close for their Love and Other Drugs premiere in Sydney tonight.

Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal were once again cuddled close for their Love and Other Drugs premiere in Sydney tonight. The future Academy Awards host was decked out in a perfect holiday party dress from another Oscar — de la Renta, of course — while Jake stuck with a well-tailored suit. The twosome arrived in Australia over the weekend and took in some of the sights on their own before this morning's picturesque harbor photo call. Jake told the local press that meals were of the utmost importance during his short time down under, saying, "I ate as much as I could. It's such incredible food. I tried to eat my way around Sydney. I'm kind of a foodie." He may love to dine out, but lately it's been his maple latte coffee dates with new girlfriend Taylor Swift that have been getting all the attention. Their relationship was a hot topic at today's press events, though Jake simply smiled in response to questions about his country sweetheart.

Box Office: Tangled Brushes Past Harry Potter

Rapunzel's hair really must be magical: Disney's Tangled came in first at the box office this weekend with $21.5 million, toppling the two-week champ, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I.

Rapunzel's hair really must be magical: Disney's Tangled came in first at the box office this weekend with $21.5 million, toppling the two-week champ, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I. It was a close battle last week between the two films, but Tangled was the victor this week, beating Harry Potter's $16.7 million haul.

In third place, we have a tie: Christina Aguilera's musical Burlesque rivaled the Denzel Washington action flick Unstoppable, which each pulled in $6.1 million. And rounding out the top five is the pharmaceutical-fueled romantic comedy Love and Other Drugs, which made $5.7 million.
