 | For years I've waited for this movie to come out on DVD. I remember seeing it as a kid and thinking it was the funniest movie ever. So when I finally picked it up at my local retailer and went home and watched it, I was less than enthusiastic. The reality didn't quite hold up to the memory.
What I thought was going to be a fun parody of daytime hospital dramas (e.g. General Hospital, The Doctors, etc), was just another boring comedy (if even). Sure, there are a few cameos by former and some current GH stars, but the similarities end there.
Aside from that, it just wasn't funny. Nothing really made me laugh out loud. I was expecting some good Airplane style parodies but it fell flat by comparison.
Definetely not worth the money. I waited for years for this and was left with the perverbial "what was I thinking???"

| I just ordered the DVD of this movie so I'm gonna review from memory. Sure, this is a stupid movie, but like most stupid movies (Top Secret! Airplane! Monty Python's Hold Grail) it is hysterically funny. Michael McKean and Sean Young are among a cast of medical miscreants that just keep getting funnier and funnier. The crime boss dressing like a woman to protect his hospitalized father from a hitman is hilarious "Yeah, I play the f*cking guitar. Is that a special kind of guitar. Nah, it's just regular." Hilarious! Definitely worth the cheap price. You can't lose! |

| Obviously, this is not a serious movie and the cast must have had a ball filming it. There's sight gags and jokes constantly. While some of the ABC soap stars may not be recognizable to the younger viewers, that will not detract from the movie at all. To those familiar with General Hospital of old, it is fun to see the stars again, much younger.
This was Hector Elizondo's first movie with Marshall, and he steals it. Appearing in drag nearly the whole movie, his performance is understated, which is perfect. The others do a fine job, but tend to be over the top, for the most part...but it's that type of movie.
Not for the kiddies: it's rated R for nudity (topless women twice) and language- mostly Angela's (Elizondo) liberal use of the 'F' word.
It would be great to see the goofs and deleted scenes, but apparently the DVD is devoid of such extras. We can but wish... |

| ...and someone finally put this little gem from the 80s on DVD. It actually has been out of print on tape for awhile, so it had been many moons since I saw this laffest.
An all-star cast, talented director, great one-liners, sick and twisted jokes, and a wonderful "Airplane" style parady of soap operas.
This is a sick movie at times, but always funny, suprisingly fresh for it's date (yes, it IS 20 years old, some jokes are dated) and well written (ala Mel Brooks style) and well directed. This is one funny movie!!!!!! |

| This movie always makes me laugh, and not just because i am an esteemed member of the medical profession ;) Come on, it's funny! Hector Elizondo in drag is the highlight of the movie for me. I also love Taylor Negron and the always hilarious Michael McKean. These hospital hijinks are my kind of funny. Hope one day to see it on dvd-i would snap it up!!! |
