Critic Reviews

Eric Campos

The romance here is rich and the laughs plentiful. Read full review

Mark Olsen

It’s a tantalizing idea - a little rom-com sugar to help the Big Pharma exposé pill go down -but Slattery-Moschkau is simply not a writer of the caliber necessary to pull off that delicate balancing act. Read full review

J.R. Jones

The story lurches from heavy-handed satire to heavy-handed drama. Heigl gives a winning performance, though Slattery-Moschkau seldom misses an opportunity to show her prancing around in her underwear. Read full review

Jessica Reaves

There is a great, even revolutionary movie to be made about pharmaceutical companies in America. Side Effects is definitely not it. Read full review
