I did like Matthew Perry in this film but it was woefully inaccurate. It listed divalproex as an antipsychotic and gave the wrong side effects (those of antipsychotics).

The character also clearly has alot of other psychological issues (relationships, low self esteem, anxiety and maybe depression) of which depersonalisation is only one small component and a very general symptom, and it is a shame that the film couldn’t highlight or focus on these other clearly major problems. It was a really simplistic non-solution and a lost opportunity to say something meaningful.

I just saw this last week. Blockbuster releases a ton of movies that go to DVD and bybass theatres, and they are really good movies. This movie was good, Perry did a good job and the topic was something I was not aware of. Awesome movie, funny, serious, emotional, sad. The lead actress was hot too. lol.

I absolutely adore anything Matthew Perry does and have no doubt this would be fantastic. Hadn’t heard of it yet, so thanks for the tip.
