Review of
Young
Doctors in Love, DVD version
Four out of five stars
To a first
approximation, this movie attempts to do to doctor movies what “Airplane” did
to airline disaster movies. It is a spoof of many of the standard elements used
to create tension in movies with a medical plot and like in “Airplane” many, if
not most of the jokes are predictable groaners. Some of the more original jokes
are carried out too long. For example, one of the doctors is a little person
and they answer the phone. Too short to put the landline headpiece back on the
holder, there are several ineffectual tries before he is successful.
If you have the
right sense of humor, you will find this movie funny. However, if you apply too
much intellectual rigor and predict the jokes in advance, not hard to do in
many cases, then you will find it a bit tedious.
