Foreshadowing galore and by the end, the multiple rehab stints, excessive smoking and attempts to quit, failed relationships and bad behavior on movie & tv sets became repetitive and hard to keep track of (much is told in a non-linear way). I felt sad for Matthew Perry while simultaneously frustrated, knowing that he knew all too well what the outcome of his out of control addictions could be. RIP MP...more
