Leave your thoughts about Heartbreak Hospital.
| FilmJerk.comEdward HavensThe leads we are given here are simply too bland to be interesting. |
| New York PostLou LumenickA game and often quite funny attempt with an expert cast. |
| L.A. WeeklyChuck WilsonGerber has a sharp cast at hand -- All work furiously, yet the director, with his fake backdrops and stately pacing, never settles on a consistent tone. Surely the novel had more bite. |
| New Times (L.A.)Jean OppenheimerNominal comedy has a few bright spots but never seems to find its rhythm. |
| Hollywood ReporterDavid HunterOther than a mildly engaging central romance, Hospital is sickly entertainment at best and mind-destroying cinematic pollution at worst. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanIf you want to direct a movie that's already been done, it's a good idea to pick one you can improve on. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxNicely shot around New York City, this dodgy mixture of cutesy romance, dark satire and murder mystery uses the same central conceit as Neil LaBute's "Nurse Betty." |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonDesperately unfunny when it tries to makes us laugh and desperately unsuspenseful when it tries to make us jump out of our seats. |
| CitysearchMichael PhillipsYou've already seen Heartbreak if you've watched the far superior Nurse Betty or Sunset Boulevard. Even the unwatchable Soapdish is more original. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittEveryone tries very hard to make the story sweet and funny, but the soggy screenplay defeats them every time. |
