With the title "Bad Therapy" as premise you could throw a stick and hit a writer that could make a passible story and with this cast of actors throw another stick and hit a director and make at least a coherent film with some good moments.
But this film supposedly has an entire true story book behind it for structure. Maybe the complete mess that this film is explains why the only evidence of this book anywhere on the internet is the film's claim to be based on it.
The more interesting story here would be the meta of how this film came to be. How do decent actors get involved in a film based on a book that was never allowed to see the light of day? Did they read a script that made sense? Did the script, direction etc. Keep changing throughout the film?
Where the actors sometimes give good performances it's as if they read scripts but got entirely different directing notes and only had one take to get the scene right. One comes in playing the comedy straight man to the other's unhinged Lifetime character, so the scene doesn't function for any type of genre.
So if you want a film that is like 6 different bad films with the same actor spliced together like a really unfunny, undramatic mad lib then this is for you.
