Ratings and reviews

this is one movie that should not be missed. I wish there was such a thing as required movie viewing in schools. stellar cast. Brilliant acting by A list ensemble cast.I have watched this movie 11 times and counting since it came out.

Very good movie. Nice to know there is so much corruption and greed even in the health care industry. Meanwhile did you all notice THE BACK of Michael Jackson when he was hugging Ryan White's mother??? All other celebrities are shown from the front. On purpose? Well according to the date of this movie the FALSE ALLEGATIONS had already come out against Michael. The media had already begun to betray Michael Jackson.

Learned more than I thought I ever knew. Saw this in college as it was required for my degree
