Better Living through chemical engineering
“Side Effects,” a thoroughly enjoyable film, start to finish. A biting piece covered with touching warmth and humor and a feel good essence. Drug dealer Larley Hert – make that, pharmaceutical sales person Karley Hert struggles between making it big and making her life happy. She opts for the former only to find that she really wants the latter. “Side Effects” is a film about doing the right thing at the right time. Along the way we’re treated to a slipping satire against the worlds biggest drug dealers – the legal manufacturer.
Katherine Heigl was wonderful as Karley. She held the camera when on screen and we missed her when she was off screen. There was chemistry between Heigl and Lucian McAfee (playing Zack). McAfee stayed focused on the simple things of life, while Karley was discentered by easy money and even easier success – all of which comes at a price.
“Side Effects” is a good show, solid, and worth the visit to the theater.
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Feathers
