over the weekend and it was good but it was too long & no matter how hard I try I can't buy Jake Gyllenhaal as a ladies man, he's ugly & will forever be Bubble Boy
. The movie is pretty much the story of the "gets every girl he wants" player kind of guy who actually falls for someone, someone who he was with for a strictly physical relationship in the beginning & then she gets pissed because he's gotten attached (kind of the My Best Friend's Girl
story without all of hilarity) & then she starts to get attached & so on & so on. Now, the difference with this movie is that Anne Hathaway's character has Parkinson's, a very early diagnosis as she's like 30. It's because of the Parkinson's that she doesn't want to get involved with anyone understandably so & it's also because of the Parkinson's that he detaches after falling in love...and so on. Anyway, the movie is predictable, it has a ton of nudity in it & a lot of which was totally unnecessary & the story kind of drags on when you already know how it will end...it was almost 2 hours & after about an hour & a half I found myself flipping through a magazine & playing Words With Friends on my iPod. So while I enjoyed the movie it could have moved along better & I'm glad I didn't pay to go see it because it wouldn't have been worth $10! I give it 2.5 olives & my advice is to wait for cable.
