Have you ever watched a movie and every 5 min. you tell yourself "I hate this movie" but for some reason you keep watching til the last frame then you wonder, as Macy Gray's character does in this one, if someone slipped you the date rape drug but no, Cuba Gooding's Mikey explains, "you're dying," and then you realize a tiny part of your soul has died along with an even larger part of your brain? Send help. Please.
