... os so good-humored that you find yourself rooting for it at every spurt of irreverence even as it moves in a rather disorderly way to a gushy conclusion that undermines what has gone before. Go to Full Review

Stephen C @bob25009 May 30 Don't give it a watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even Steve Guttenberg would take this out of the VCR and play a better movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 08/05/2019 Funny - good cast. Guttenburg is good here and so is Alan Arkin. Not the best comedy every but the fish out of water in Medical school aspect works. Give it a watch. See more 01/23/2017 Peasantry physicians. See more 01/21/2014 This a B-grade comedy. It's goofy and nothing too spectacular... BUT! There is one scene that is utterly hilarious that makes this worth watching. The scene where the students buy a cadaver to study on and the mayhem that follows for the next several minutes is worth the price of the rental. See more 01/06/2013 dont waste your time watching this tasteless comedy full of dumb unreal situations.. the only real character is Mr Madero the mob-director of the medical school... See more 05/06/2012 Typical 80's comedy where nothing remotely funny happens. See more Read all reviews
