I didn't think this film had any particular motives until I saw the "Aww Pharmacist Dad, drugs aren't the answer, you can just heal people by adjusting their spine!" scene. That's when I knew we were in it deep.
I have been to 3 separate chiropractors in my life (2 the wacko kind, like the Naked Man, who claim that all sorts of emotional and physical illnesses can be fixed by spinal adjustments- not medically possible) and luckily 1 who knew that, well, a chiropractor is simply there to help you with SPINE PROBLEMS. Not to fix your cruelty and rage, not to restore health to other body parts, but simply to IMPROVE THE BACK.
If you think I'm on a high horse you're right, but frankly, it's only in opposition to what the movie would have you believe. The truth is that A. chiropractors do not go to medical school and are not in any conventional sense 'doctors' and B. there is no evidence that chiropracty can solve non-spine-related issues. Oh, and C. this movie is bad. Not so bad it's funny, or so bad it's good, just BAD.
