    I also waited for this movie for a few months. I was unpleasantly surprised by lackluster performances and a rather boring plot. I did appreciate the insight into the world of pharmaceutical companies since I work at a pharmacy. If you don't care about the ins and outs of drug promoting, then save yourself for something a little more engaging than this movie. I write this with a heavy heart since it's Ms. K.S-M. first experience in movie-making. I admire her for pursuing this path. If you, the reader, decide to rent Side Effects despite my warning, make sure to watch the fake commercials found in the extras section. They were definitely more entertaining than the movie.

    Though this movie trys to bring a valid morality issue to the table, it's hard to get past the bad filming, incomplete writing and worse acting.

    B movie, but informative. Some unnecessary scenes, but overall, the movie is watchable. I got up to do dishes during the middle.
