    I'm hoping that Heigl did this before Grey's Anatomy, or at least before it was really popular. The editing was really bad for this movie, lots of audio problems and some really bad continuity. The pacing is really slow for the begining of the movie and it takes more than half wa...( read more)y through for it to get to the point. After the end titles you begin to think that it's a glorified propoganda movie for the drug companies complete with web site.

    A good plotline with good intentions, let down by a poorly constructed scripts, random plot points thrown in throughout the film, horrible direction, barely existent editing and a lack sound mixing makes this film painful to watch.
