Love & Other Drugs Part 2

• 

I first saw this movie a couple times in the beginning of December 2013. It was free OnDemand. It’s OnDemand again but it’s on HBO OnDemand so there is a lot more nudity than when I first saw it! It still makes me cry though!

Despite all of the nudity, I still cry and it is when I begin to hear this song:

Now, I have heard in many circles that Hollywood movies tend to glamorize chronic illness and this one does that for sure but when I hear the beginning bars of that tune, the scene that is showing is something that makes me cry!

So yes, I would say that this is a glamorization of chronic illness because it does not show how horrible and humiliating illness can be but it definitely hints at it and because I am dealing with chronic illness, it resonates with me and makes me cry. I’d still recommend it but know that there is a lot of swearing and nudity.
