Movie Haiku:Two twentysomethings with problems (his emotional/hers physical) fall in lust, then in love. Gyllenhaal & Hathaway (both terrific) have great chemistry, but all the other characters are mere distractions (especially Gad as Gyllenhaal''''s younger brother). Too bad because the story''''s surround (cut-throat corporate competition/drug company sales hype) is spot on.
