Side Effects
A satirical look at the pharmaceutical industry.
Karly Hert has spent the last ten years selling drugs... legally, that is. Although conflicted on a daily basis by the values within the pharmaceutical industry, and industry driven by profits at the expense of patients; Karly has been seduced by the golden handcuffs of corporate America. Enter Zach Danner, who convinces Karly to be true to her values and walk away from her lucrative but empty job. As their relationship blossoms, Karly devises a plan to get out. But leaving is never quite as easy as it seems...

Not funny - Ilsa
I was hoping to see a comedy. The story line is poorly written. The idea is good but not funny.
Katherine has a natural humor but unfortunately she cannot do too much with the dialog and the story line given to her. The other actors are not very talented or maybe not delivering at their best of their talent and abilities.
There movie is below expectation to say the least.Typical socialist nonsense - Objectivist2
My hope was that this would be a comedy that would relate some good stories about the being a sales representative for a pharmaceutical company. Instead, it quickly becomes obvious that this is par for the course socialist propaganda where profit is bad and the evil huge corporation is making money off the backs of the poor, blah blah blah. We stopped watching it after 30 minutes as it was just a waste of time. Of course, I'm sure that this movie will do great in Canada.Could have been better - TJS-
Katherine was superb in this movie and its worth renting just for her performance and to watch her character go through the events and grow. There are a few laughs in here, but not enough. The biggest problem with this movie are all the other performances aside from KH's. They range from below average to truly horrid. With a better cast and a director that knows how to direct, this flick could have been much better then it is. However, the underlying message here is still solid and very valid and makes this film still worth a look.
