If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Although this film has not had the best of reviews, I decided to watch it for myself. I'm glad with my decision, as I was glued to the screen from start to finish and would say that it was not the disappointment as previous viewers had hinted. I will admit that after a short while it was easy to guess what was going on with the plot, but even so I was still rather pleasantly surprised with the couple of twists that lay in store for me. I'm not convinced that some of the supporting cast were that great, particularly Scott Anthony Leet who I felt was rather 'wooden'. However, the main characters certainly got my vote. It's rather sad that we wont be seeing any more of Brittany Murphy.

I watched this on TV and it thoroughly entertained me and kept me through the commercials (which were plenty). I was kind of shocked that the reviews were so bad, it was a fairly decent movie. I would probably give it a eight out of ten but I'm giving it a 10 out 10 because I am so appalled by the reviews that I have to raise the score. It was good and kept me hooked throughout the entire time. I am one of those people who usually don't write reviews but in this case (to raise the score) I have to write a review. The acting was good, the story was interesting (I had a pretty bad idea of where the story was going) and it was engaging from the beginning to the end. I definitely recommend the movie.

What are we dealing with here- The Bates Motel? A woman delivers her boyfriend to the hospital for supposed routine surgery and within the hour the boyfriend mysteriously disappears. What's going on here? The hospital administration, other staff, another supposed patient's husband and particularly the psychiatrist all appear to be suspects in their own rights, respectively.The story is awfully bizarre and becomes even more so when the boyfriend and a nurse turn out to be some fiends. Forget the guy with the sick wife and the administrator. This is totally beyond the realm of human understanding.If things are bad enough, the embezzlement is poorly explained and I'm being kind in that sentence.This is a totally absurd, foolish film.

Mary Walsh (Brittany Murphy) takes her boyfriend Kevin (Dean Cain) to the hospital for some routine outpatient surgery on his leg. She is with him during check in, and leaves him in the room for his surgery only to return and find him missing. Hospital staff, security, and administration can find no trace of him in the system so she contacts a police detective on her own. After a search of the hospital turns up nothing, and Mary accidentally drops a bottle of anti-depressants from her bag, a hospital psychiatrist is brought in to evaluate her and deems her "unstable". She asks for a moment alone, and then flees his office to try and find answers on her own. While hiding in the hospital morgue she gets a call from Kevin telling her he is still inside the hospital being held captive and that she should trust no one before he screams and the call disconnects. As Mary leaves the morgue and is being chased by a burly security guard she crosses over into the parking garage and is hit by a car, leaving her to be taken into custody once again by hospital staff.While in her recovery room she is approached once again by an older gentleman you see her having coffee with in the cafeteria earlier on in the film. He pulls out a folder and starts reading off various facts about her, including the fact that she works at a bank that just received government bail-out funds. He then shows her a photo of an injured and bleeding Kevin on his cell phone and tells her that he wants $10 million dollars transferred from the bank into his account or else he will have her boyfriend killed. He then transports Mary to a location where she can connect to the internet so that she can make the transfer.Mary and the older man go to where Kevin is being held, and they release him to her once she sends the funds into their account. Then Kevin backs away and pulls off his leg brace, peeling off the cosmetic "wound" he'd applied to his forehead, and tells her that he was behind the plan all along. He and the older man had met in prison and devised the scheme around the plot of a book. The nurse from the hospital, and the security guard are in on the scheme as well. Kevin and the older man leave with the nurse, thinking they have their money, and send the security guard off to kill Mary. She escapes in the stairwell and runs away. Another character from the plan calls Kevin and notifies him that the money has NOT been transferred, so they turn and go back for Mary to get their money and silence her once and for all.Mary flees and they give chase. Mary ends up in another stairwell with the older man, guns pointed at one another. He refuses to drop his gun so she is forced to shoot him. "Kevin" finds her and tries to sweet talk her into working things out and taking the money with him and running so they can create new lives and be together. She pretends she is going to transfer the money, then throws the phone at him. He falls from the stairwell, hitting the ground and dying instantly. The police detective then shows up and apologizes to her for not believing her in the beginning. She asks what changed his mind and he shows her the book Kevin had been reading that outlines the entire plot. He walks her from the building and the screen displays "In Memory of Brittany Murphy".OPINION: The movie is poorly written, and poorly filmed; it looks as tho it was filmed with a fairly small budget. The acting, for the most part, is hit or miss. At the beginning Brittany Murphy is pale and sickly with dark rings under her eyes and messy, greasy looking hair. Later in the movie however she looks much better. I imagine the beginning portions were filmed last, probably right before she passed away.I wouldn't watch this again, and wouldn't really recommend it to anyone either unless they are A, die-hard Brittany Murphy fans or B, extremely bored and there is absolutely nothing else to do.
