Nach einigen persönlichen Schicksalsschlgen und um dem Druck seines Jobs als hoch bezahlter Schreiber für TV-Serien stand zu halten verfüllt der erfolgreiche Autor Jerry dem Heroin. Sein wechselhafter Weg führt ihn nun vom Glamour Hollywoods bis in die schäbigsten Straßen von L.A. doch am Tiefpunkt seines Lebens beschliet er, seiner Sucht die Stirn zu bieten... (Verleiher-Text)

Or how a purely comedic actor took on a slightly more serious role for the holidays, and it was far from the tragedy one may have expected. Unfortunately, even his effort did not rescue this project from mediocrity. Elizabeth Hurley and Maria Bello deliver excellent performances, but the script is uninteresting, the direction completely detached, and the form is purely TV-like. All we're left with then is 88 minutes of watching the clock for when it will finally end. Sometimes your stomach churns a little, sometimes you chuckle at bitter jokes (of which there are unfortunately very few), and the rest becomes somewhat dull. If this was meant to be a variation of much better drug films, it did not succeed. It's a pity, Ben Stiller can't be blamed this time.
