Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring her strip dance scene in the bedroom, Katherine Heigl accidentally revealed a side boob and nipple which was more than she intended, but producers kept it in the scene. She also revealed her butt when she pulled down her panties, which she had agreed to do for the scene.
- GoofsIt seems that almost every time the one or more characters walks in front of a window, you can see the crew in the reflection, especially car windows.

Featured review
Decent Look at the Inside
Side Effects is a movie that really suffers because of its budget. I think with more money there could have been more done to make this movie better. It basically ends up being an OK movie with a good heart and brain.
The movie plays up the ridiculousness of the American pharmaceutical business and does a good job of it. The story is really alright and I only have minor qualms with the script. The acting (aside from Heigl, who was great aside from her strange tantrum scene) is poor at best and some of the shots had me shaking my head. There seemed to be an inordinate amount of closeup shots of actor's faces in this film. I started realizing about halfway through the film how everything felt like it was zoomed in when it was just one person on screen.
The movie's got a good moral to it and I enjoyed the Madison backdrops, but with a little better funding and maybe some better editing and camera work, it really could have been a better film.
5 out of 10.
