Didn’t love this one. Combination depressing terminal illness element plus central-to-the-plot level product placement by big pharma equals can’t recommend this movie. Jake Gyllenhal is a cutie pie, but seeing his naked butt didn’t make up for the other stuff (although, if you’re an Anne Hathaway fan, you do get to see plenty of her in the movie, so there’s that).
The one thing that I liked about this movie was that it was filmed in Pittsburgh. The loft where Maggie lives looks surprisingly like one I visited at a welcome reception for new students at my alma mater. Let’s hear it for rust belt cities being reinvented as film industry hot spots. Okay, that might be overstating it a bit, but I always love when things are actually filmed in Pittsburgh. Or Ohio.

The dude (Gyllenhal) does have a serious six pack.
I do not know how to respond to that.
