Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
napierslogs "Side Effects" has a great story but unfortunately it has its problems that some people won't be able to get past. It stars Katherine Heigl as a young woman working for a pharmaceutical sales company, trying to figure out her professional life and love life. Although its not an original idea, they told the main story very well as they focused on the pharmaceutical sales industry and the moral dilemmas that come with the job.Trying to run alongside the main story we had a few sub-plots, but these were really poorly done. These side story lines had no end, or if they did, they had no beginning. They really detracted from the film. Adding to this problem were technical issues with poor editing and sound.I say you should see it if you are looking for a great story. But if you are going to get frustrated by some poorly written scenes and sloppy editing and sound, then skip it.
SirEmu I read some posts about the movies budget. what I can say is that this is an extraordinary movie with "soul" in it , and that effect , i doubt , wouldn't get that intense with 10 million dollar budget. The cameras , actors , sets may be awful , besides from Katherine Heigl who does perform Professionaly as can be. she makes the movie fun and very enjoyable to watch , so does the "documentary" style of filming this motion picture. The story is quite interesting and took me behind the scenes of how companies may work , opened my mind at made me think of all money lovers that ain't caring about anything else than the smell of a dollar-bill - and that sucks terrible. As said , i loved every frame of this film , and its Ten out of Ten for its originality , Katherine Heigl , the scores and again , its low budget That made this film so great as it is. After seeing movies that cost more than a country is worth , I thought i wouldn't like this one , but it gave me the opposite feeling . Took me 2 minutes to see that -OMG - this is one interesting flick ; not the usual thousands-of-hours-making-one-scene-film , i got stuck immediately. I will personally tell my friends about this movie , to give it a chance. Well , i think i got what got in my mind here , I beg pardon for my English , correct my errors , and please give me your idea about low-budget films that are really good like this one is. Thank you kindly - Take care , and last but not least :WATCH MOVIES :))))))
mhanen4 I was a Pharmaceutical Rep for one of the largest companies in the world. This movie is very truthful in showing how they work. We were taught EXACTLY what to say to the doctors and we even had a canned answer for everything they could say. I found this film to be very funny and I thought the acting was great! Katherine Heigl is very good in her role and a very beautiful woman. I liked the way the movie took you through her thought process and followed her to the right choice. I never looked at my job from this point of view but I did sell a drug that was pulled by the FDA for liver problems. Also, many of the doctors that I met were not the sharpest tools in the shed so it was easy to get them to write my drugs! It is a must see for any one in this field!
skiprok The screenplay is beyond clunky and obvious, and sounds as though it were written by a high school freshman. The supporting actors are painfully hammy. The film quality was lacking- out of focus half the time, and it seemed as though it were shot in full screen but being shown wide screen. The concept is there, it's just the execution that kills it all. Katherine Heigel had cute moments, but overall could not overcome the bad material. This is a movie that needed to be made, but should have been made well. The pacing drags, and the "wacky" jokes fall through. Don't waste your money. There are some indies that should never see the light of day, and this is one of them.
