As an activist working to expose the dirty truths about the drug companies, I whole heartedly agree with what the people below, say about the 2 films. At the very least see the “Money Talks” trailor
"Funny, entertaining, and thought provoking! I loved this film!"
DG, Colorado
"Loved the movie!"
Doug (Pharmacist), Wisconsin
"Heigl brings a vulnerability and bewitching beauty to a story seeded in ugliness. Rarely, does a story leap off the screen and force you to pay attention to the veracity, not masquerading behind special effects, not big glitzy endings, but, instead, focusing on truth."
Ryan, USA
"Can I congratulate the team there - the movie was great!!"
Richard, Australia
"Better than most of the Hollywood blockbusters I've seen so far this year. Side Effects is informative and thoroughly entertaining…is a funny but accurate and intelligent portrayal."
EM, Texas
"I took 3 people with me and all were extremely moved by the movie. It's really an eye opener."
Missy Dallas, Texas
"Although this movie is very entertaining, it is also very timely in regards to the current state of the pharmaceutical industry."
CH, Boston, MA
"Way to think outside the box in telling a story that has brains, sex appeal, and heartfelt struggles on so many levels."
JG, Los Angeles, CA
"Wow! I was really impressed with your film. You rock!"
Robin, USA
"Thanks again for doing this movie. It was really great."
Andy, MN
"My friend & I thoroughly enjoyed Side Effects. I'm so impress with every aspect of the film: The music was great at conveying what was going on. The actors, every single one, were natural, as if they weren't acting. The leading role was portrayed with humor & the actress was so real, I was very impressed. Her "accomplice" in the drug company was phenomenal as everyone else was. There was not one dull minute in the movie & it flowed beautifully. I was very entertained & the humor was right on."
Yolanda, Dallas, TX
"Timely, revealing…and ENTERTAINING!"
William, Los Angeles, CA
"Side Effects was a welcome breath of fresh air. Consider your $200,000 well spent!"
David (Pharmacist), Miami Beach, Florida
"My family and I totally enjoyed the movie. I'm spreading the word even more that Side Effects is a must see."
Terry, Madison, WI
"Katherine Heigl sparkles!"
David, TX
"I enjoyed the movie immensely (especially at a $200k budget) and have recommended it to several folks (who haven't seen it), friends and relatives."
Paul (Pharmacist), USA
"I thought Side Effects was a great movie."
Edgar, Boston, MA
"This film entertains while it educates - you gotta love that! While it is noticeable that the film is a first effort by writer/director Kathleen Slattery-Moschkau, I am so impressed by this first effort that I had to let everyone know about the film. The film is highly enjoyable!"
Mathilda, Bethesda, MD
"I enjoyed Side Effects!"
Keith (MD), Dallas, TX
"Funny, romantic, sexy, impressive…all rolled into one!"
MS, USA
"I was a Pharmaceutical Rep for one of the largest companies in the world. This movie is very truthful in showing how they work. We were taught EXACTLY what to say to the doctors and we even had a canned answer for everything they could say. I found this film to be very funny and I thought the acting was great! Katherine Heigl is very good in her role and a very beautiful woman. I liked the way the movie took you through her thought process and followed her to the right choice."
MH, USA
"I just saw the DVD and thought it was great! And very true. Thanks for making the film."
Mark, North Carolina
"Great film! Great entertainment!"
June, Chicago, Il
"Nice work!"
Greg (MD), Dallas, TX
"Great movie."
Chelle, USA
"Thank you so much for putting it out there for the public to see and KUDOS to you for a wonderful film!"
Linda, USA
"My wife and I enjoyed the movie. We thought it was very applicable to today's culture."
Brad, Texas
"A wonderful film. Enjoyable, informative, relevant."
Jenny, San Francisco, CA
"The movie was done very well."
Jane (MD), Dallas, TX
"The twist on the temptation scenario is only one of the unexpectedly fresh innovations of Side Effects."
AR, USA
"Nice work!"
Greg (MD), Dallas, TX
"I commend you on your movie. It is such an important issue for everyone.. Even though it is a serious subject, your movie is a delight to watch."
Chandini, USA
"A clever film, well scripted with creativity and humor. Actors did a great job, particularly lead actress, Katherine H. A well meshed soundtrack."
Candi, USA
"I saw this film in the East Village and it rocked! It was a terrific and important and terrific movie for everyone to see. I cannot believe it was made so fast for such a small budget. Katherine Heigl was fantastic and I loved the chemistry she shared with Lucian McAfee. Not only was the story fantastic it was scary to realize how true the movie is. Congratulations!"
JD, Hells Kitchen, NY
"I loved the story line. Well written!"
MP, USA
"Side Effects succeeds as a both a post-college coming of age story and an investigation of the marketing tactics of the pharmaceutical industry. Katherine Heigl is fantastic as the wide eyed, increasingly jaded Karly Hert. A must see."
Mary, USA
"First, Katherine Heigl. Being a huge fan of Grey's Anatomy and of Katherine Heigl I had a hunch I would enjoy this movie, but her performance was even better than I expected. This is a bigger film role than normal for her, but she tackles it with ease and shows much more of her range than she does on Grey's. She gets the driven, determined quality of the character perfectly, and gives all of her frustrations a great comic quality. She's a very talented dramatic actress and this film suggests that she's an even better comic actress. Her timing is near perfect. And yes, she's devastatingly attractive and charming (was there any doubt there?).
Second, the message. I happen to be a veteran of the pharmaceutical industry. I hope everyone can see this film and get a glimpse of the marketing practices of big pharma. It's fictional, obviously, but however hilariously absurd and gross the pharmaceutical industry may seems in this film, it's not an exaggeration. If you're in the medical profession or doing anything that is even remotely connected to medicine or pharmaceuticals, it should be mandatory. Even if you’re not, this affects us all."
