Awesome movie!, 2 October 2006
10/10
Author: deenoa from Mexico

This is one of those movies worth watching, the message its clear. It's one of those movies where you keep laughing due to the realistic situations (well, funny and realistic). the characters are like any of us, they're human: they cry, they laugh, they feel like any of us. You feel the characters as long know friends, understanding their problems.

Watching Side Effects for the second time is like watching the Sixth Sense again; you realize that everything, even the smallest detail since its beginning, bring side effects all along.

The movie is fresh, smartly told, well directed, and its worth the money you pay. I'm actually waiting the DVD, this is one of those movies you must have.

Really, if you have the opportunity, go and watch it, you wont regret it.
