"Funny, entertaining,
and thought provoking! I loved this film!"
DG, Colorado
"Loved the movie!"
Doug (Pharmacist), Wisconsin
"Heigl brings a vulnerability and bewitching beauty to a story seeded in
ugliness. Rarely, does a story leap off the screen and force you to pay
attention to the veracity, not masquerading behind special effects, not
big glitzy endings, but, instead, focusing on truth."
Ryan, USA
"Can I congratulate the team there - the movie was great!!"
Richard, Australia
"Better than most of the Hollywood blockbusters I've seen so far this
year.
Side Effects is informative and thoroughly entertaining…is a funny but
accurate and intelligent portrayal."
EM, Texas
"I took 3 people with me and all were extremely moved by the movie. It's
really an eye opener."
Missy Dallas, Texas
"Although this movie is very entertaining, it is also very timely in
regards to the current state of the pharmaceutical industry."
CH, Boston, MA
"Way to think outside the box in telling a story that has brains, sex
appeal, and heartfelt struggles on so many levels."
JG, Los Angeles, CA
"Wow! I was really impressed with your film. You rock!"
Robin, USA
"Thanks again for doing this movie. It was really
great."
Andy, MN
"My friend & I thoroughly enjoyed Side Effects. I'm so impress with
every aspect of the film: The music was great at conveying what was
going on. The actors, every single one, were natural, as if they weren't
acting. The leading role was portrayed with humor & the actress was so
real, I was very impressed. Her "accomplice" in the drug company was
phenomenal as everyone else was. There was not one dull minute in the
movie & it flowed beautifully. I was very entertained & the humor was
right on."
Yolanda, Dallas, TX
"Timely, revealing…and ENTERTAINING!"
William, Los Angeles, CA
"Side Effects was a welcome breath of fresh air.
Consider your $200,000 well spent!"
David (Pharmacist), Miami Beach, Florida
"My family and I totally enjoyed the movie. I'm spreading the word even
more that Side Effects is a must see."
Terry, Madison, WI
"Katherine Heigl sparkles!"
David, TX
"I enjoyed the movie immensely (especially at a $200k budget) and have
recommended it to several folks (who haven't seen it), friends and
relatives."
Paul (Pharmacist), USA
"I thought Side Effects was a great movie."
Edgar, Boston, MA
"This film entertains while it educates - you gotta love that! While it
is noticeable that the film is a first effort by writer/director
Kathleen Slattery-Moschkau, I am so impressed by this first effort that
I had to let everyone know about the film. The film is highly
enjoyable!"
Mathilda, Bethesda, MD
"I enjoyed Side Effects!"
Keith (MD), Dallas, TX
"Funny, romantic, sexy, impressive…all rolled into one!"
MS, USA
"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."
MH, USA
"I just saw the DVD and thought it was great! And very true. Thanks for
making the film."
Mark, North Carolina
"Great film! Great entertainment!"
June, Chicago, Il
"Nice work!"
Greg (MD), Dallas, TX
"Great movie."
Chelle, USA
"Thank you so much for putting it out there for the public to see and
KUDOS to you for a wonderful film!"
Linda, USA
"My wife and I enjoyed the movie. We thought it was very applicable to
today's culture."
Brad, Texas
"A wonderful film. Enjoyable, informative, relevant."
Jenny, San Francisco, CA
"The movie was done very well."
Jane (MD), Dallas, TX
"The twist on the temptation scenario is only one of the unexpectedly
fresh innovations of Side Effects."
AR, USA
"Nice work!"
Greg (MD), Dallas, TX
"I commend you on your movie. It is such an important issue for
everyone.. Even though it is a serious subject, your movie is a delight
to watch."
Chandini, USA
"A clever film, well scripted with creativity and humor. Actors did a
great job, particularly lead actress, Katherine H. A well meshed
soundtrack."
Candi, USA
"I saw this film in the East Village and it rocked! It was a terrific
and important and terrific movie for everyone to see. I cannot believe
it was made so fast for such a small budget. Katherine Heigl was
fantastic and I loved the chemistry she shared with Lucian McAfee. Not
only was the story fantastic it was scary to realize how true the movie
is. Congratulations!"
JD, Hells Kitchen, NY
"I loved the story line. Well written!"
MP, USA
"Side Effects succeeds as a both a post-college coming of age story and
an investigation of the marketing tactics of the pharmaceutical
industry. Katherine Heigl is fantastic as the wide eyed, increasingly
jaded Karly Hert. A must see."
Mary, USA
"First, Katherine Heigl. Being a huge fan of Grey's Anatomy and of
Katherine Heigl I had a hunch I would enjoy this movie, but her
performance was even better than I expected. This is a bigger film role
than normal for her, but she tackles it with ease and shows much more of
her range than she does on Grey's. She gets the driven, determined
quality of the character perfectly, and gives all of her frustrations a
great comic quality. She's a very talented dramatic actress and this
film suggests that she's an even better comic actress. Her timing is
near perfect. And yes, she's devastatingly attractive and charming (was
there any doubt there?).
Second, the message. I happen to be a veteran of the pharmaceutical
industry. I hope everyone can see this film and get a glimpse of the
marketing practices of big pharma. It's fictional, obviously, but
however hilariously absurd and gross the pharmaceutical industry may
seems in this film, it's not an exaggeration. If you're in the medical
profession or doing anything that is even remotely connected to medicine
or pharmaceuticals, it should be mandatory. Even if you’re not, this
affects us all."
Michael, Brooklyn, New York
