    • Trivia
      During her strip dance scene in the bedroom, Katherine Heigl accidentally revealed a side boob and nipple which was more than she intended, but producers kept it in the scene. She also revealed her butt when she pulled down her panties, which she had agreed to do for the scene.
    • Goofs
      It seems that almost every time the one or more characters walks in front of a window, you can see the crew in the reflection, especially car windows.

    An ambitious girl faces a moral dilemma
    I saw Side Effects at the premier in Wisconsin and thought it was a wonderful film, despite a few technical issues. I found it to be enjoyable, informative and relevant. The acting was great, especially the boss-lady, Dorian DeMichele. I would have liked to see more of her on screen as she has a strong screen presence and a great deal of talent. Kathleen Heigl was believable and easy to watch, as was the rest of the cast. I have told my friends about this film and hoped it would travel to NYC where I live, but alas, it has not arrived. I recommend it, especially if you are in any way interested in the pharmaceutical industry. My only criticism was that the kissing scene went on a bit too long!
