    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Production shut down numerous times due to financial problems. In May 2008, Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel walked off the set after producers failed to show they had enough money to pay the cast. The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) announced it would keep all cast members from the movie until the production company showed it had enough money set aside in a union-mandated account. When the International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees (IATSE) learned that below-the-line crew members were not being paid, union leaders called for staff-members to boycott the production. Production shut down again in June 2008, when several crew members didn't show up for work because they hadn't been paid.

    8/10

    Very funny political satire

    This movie will pass a lot of people by because it requires political awareness and being smart enough to understand the themes behind the simple characters of the movie. I don't often write reviews but I really enjoyed this movie and found it to be an intelligent comedy with a particular focus on the US health care system. There is an array of talented actors on display playing some wacky characters. It's a disappointment to see the review scores so low but unfortunately the mainstream cinema goer and critics would much rather see a new brainless action movie. I've heard the film had some issues getting funded but I'm glad it got released. I highly recommend it - 8/10.
