Margaret: [from the other room] Doctor's orders, honey. No saturated fat.
Richard Morton: Ma'am, that doctor is a hack. And he's pathetic. He shouldn't even have a license. Stop listening to the doctor. Jesus. You give me bread? First of all it's not toasted, second of all it's peanut butter without any jam. How do you expect me to swallow this or get it down? How many goddamn times do I have to tell you that?

I never thought I would say this, but Denise Richards wasn't so bad, although her level of grooming was not appropriate to the character in the slightest. Clearly a really bad script. The guy that plays the character Jackson was absolutely horrible and his terrible acting only made Richards' performance slightly better. He was so campy she actually came off as someone who had some sort of vague craft. She's not a good actress, but she can occasionally deliver a line. I mean, she's good enough to make acting look easy, but also not good/confident enough to know she doesn't need to look attractive. I turned this movie off almost immediately after he started throwing his tantrum.
