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.
