Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): During the last school lesson before summer, when the camera is panning over the students in the classroom. We can clearly see a student reading his book upside-down.

Quotes:

Allegra Marshall: I thought he was supposed to help you feel more comfortable in your own skin?
Jake Singer: He's more the exfoliating type.

Magnificent Movie great acting all round!

the trailers for "The Treatment" were kinda crappy but the movie is something else entirely this is a movie that is much better than its trailer suggest it's Light hearted and funny with a lot of substance it isn't at all cheesy or dark . the acting is truly amazing we have three unmatchable leading actors Chris Eigeman ,Ian Holm and Famke Janssen all three give some of their best work here..the movie is smart and funny and the ending leaves the Dr Morales bit open is he real or just a figment of Chris Eigeman's imagination? watch this one in theatres fans of any Famke , Ian and Chris will not be disappointed no matter how high their expectations.
