Self-Medicated features some nice performances, but is too sentimental and unfocused to be a truly compelling film. Read critic reviews

Audience Reviews for Self-Medicated

Jan 25, 2008

I thought the people at the rehab were trying to help the kid with a little bit of tough love. He was a total manipulator and drug addict.
