did anyone else think this?


I got the impression from the trailer and from the beginning of the movie that Amanda Bynes' character would develop breast cancer and that he would save her. I thought I saw her crying on the trailer and it kind of looked like they had her in a padded bra at the beginning. I guess I just misinterpreted. If this wasn't based on fact, I could see that being an interesting twist, like she was meant to become his assistant so the drug he created could eventually save her life.

I always saw the movie as tracing the struggles that the doctor faced in getting his drug approved. I never got the impression that Amanda Bynes would be anything more than a side character, though I was surprised she wasn't on the movie as much as advertised.

Yeah, that's the impression I got too. It was a good movie, just different than I thought.

Some trailers are like that, to capitalize on the popularity of a young actress. it's to get more of the teenage audience to tune in... which explains the stupid juvenile comments on that other thread about Amanda Bynes' chest.
