Shrink (2009)

Plot: In Hollywood, people in need revolve around Dr. Henry Carter, a shrink: Jack, an aging star wants permission to cheat on his wife; Shamus is a director who's a cokehead; Patrick is a high-powered germophobic producer; Jeremy is a young writer looking for a break; Jemma, a high-school student, is skipping school; and Kate is an actress facing her mid-30s. Henry's wife recently died; he's grieving, blaming himself, smoking lots of pot. Henry's friends try an intervention; someone steals a patient's file from Henry; Patrick's assistant, the pregnant Daisy, sees promise in Jeremy's work; and, Jesus, Henry's drug dealer, sells him some potent weed. Can anything good come of this?

Alternative Plot: Henry Carter (Kevin Spacey), a jaded therapist-to-the-stars, uses marijuana to forget his troubles. His first pro bono case puts him in touch with Jemma (Saffron Burrows), a troubled teen who lives far from the glamour of the Hollywood Hills. Confronted with her real problems, Henry wonders, given his current state of mind, if he can help Jemma find answers to her questions.
