Side Effects (I) (2005)
5/10
I would watch Heigl read a phone book, but...
30 July 2007
Warning: Spoilers
This director takes way too long setting up shots and the action is painfully slow. I am all for watching Heigl dress and undress. I could watch a movie called, "katherine gets dressed and undressed" and be happy.

But even I got bored watching her put on her panty hose to go meet her boss at the copy store! Seriously, what was the point of that. It did not set an emotional tone. It did not advance the narrative. It did not show us anything about her character. This is the kind of movie I might shoot myself because I don't have a clue on how to make a movie! I love the info-tainment angle. But even that got dull.

The romance guy: his looks were odd but it might have worked. But I felt zero chemistry. I don't know why, but i just did not get their chemistry.

The roommate choice I thought was odd but cool. In real life, people have roommates who are nothing like them. Some set up to how they are room-mates were nice. I am all for tall, large black women, but I did not really feel the character had much depth.
