Critic Reviews

  • Joe Leydon, Variety

    A ploddingly paced and tonally dissonant mix of broadly played sitcom-style humor and shameless heartstring-yanking.

  • Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter

    Amateurish doctors-in-training comedy/drama too blatantly reveals its television inspirations.

  • Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

    Dr. Dennis Cooper must have knocked off this script while watching "Scrubs" re-runs in the break room. This is "Scrubs" told totally from a black doctor's point of view.

    Tons of celebs in this film: Mya, Method Man, Leon, Jasmine Guy. Still not a good reason to see this film. The jokes reach out and almost achieve funny but always fall short of the goal. It drags out, its corny, the funny is flat, the music is blah. Just don't waste your time.
