Leave your thoughts about Young Doctors in Love.
| Time OutJennifer SelwayThe effect is crass, crowded, and pretty funny, as though the characters from half-a-dozen episodes of General Hospital had strayed onto a big screen and decided to misbehave. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittRowdy satire of hospital life in the vein of Airplane, but shorter on laughs and longer on bad taste. |
| New York TimesJanet MaslinThere are enough bright moments to make this a passable hot-weather entertainment, if not one worth slogging through a blizzard for. |
| Boston GlobeBruce McCabeIf a similar ingenuity had been invested in the film as a whole, the results might have been better. |
| User ReviewPatrick SA definite one to remember next time you hit the video shop. Great cameos, great gags. Funny, funny, funny. |
| User ReviewMark vthis movie was instrumental in making me the surgeon that i am today. |
| User ReviewCindy FMaybe one of the funniest spoof movies ever. |
| User ReviewJoe MGreat film. Reminds me of my good friend Rishi and a certain special someone... |
| User ReviewJames RI watched in when I was a kid with my sisters. We all wet our pants laughing. Very silly but hugely entertaining. Wonder if I would still think so as an adult? |
| User ReviewJohn SLike to turn your brain off and laugh at some goofy stuff? This could fall in that category. I saw it a long time ago and still remember a few very funny things. "You want me to stop swearing? OK. I don't give a fuck about that." Paraphrased of course from Joe Pantaliano as a cross-dressed/in-disguise Italian mobster with latent homosexual tendencies. Head surgeon Dabney Coleman to Michael McKean: I hear you're quite an asshole. I like that. Harry Dean Stanton as pathologist tasting ALL the fluids of the human body. McKean fakes him into drinking piss. Pamela Reed as head nurse: Which assistant nurse would you like, Doctor? Dabney: The one with the tits. Pamela (sighs): OK . . . Cindy. Lots of stars in this film. btw The above is entirely from memory having watched it 20+ years ago. I will re-watch it just to see what I forgot (and correct the above) |
