I found Bad Therapy to be laugh-out-loud funny. Yes, it's low budget but it makes clever use of the side of Los Angeles that mainly only locals see. An inordinate amount of drama takes place at an ugly strip mall in West L. A. and that is accurate.
One of the funniest aspects of this film is that women are fighting over this totally average looking, middle-aged bald guy like he's the hottest thing going.
The entire movie is like some terrible inside joke and it's like you either get it or you don't. I realize that is not the same thing as quality film making, but Alicia Silverstone is wonderful and Michaela Watkins is convincingly out of her mind. The teenaged daughter character ties the entire film together, Bad Therapy would be nothing without Anna Pniowsky, a child actress I'd never heard of before.
