Edward Zwick is the director of the film. From the perspective of the maintenance and development of the theme, "Love and Elixir" has many similarities with Zwick’s director’s debut, "Deep Love Last Night", and both present a very real reality. And a rather unsatisfactory love experience. Zwick specially recruited Marshall Heskowitz, a screenwriter and production partner in the field of television, for this film, and completed the adaptation of the script of "Love and Elixir", and jointly redefines the character-driven story in the original novel. At the same time, the film does not simply stop in the boundary of the film genre. In addition to the comic color, it also contains the corresponding drama saturation and the satirical literature with a social nature.
Anne Hathaway and Jack Gyllenhaal joined hands as the heroes and heroines of the film, and the theme instilled in the film resonated and responded to the two protagonists. Their performances made the whole movie story interesting and at the same time It also provides the same proportions of comedy and emotional elements.
