David Hunter The Hollywood Reporter Other than a mildly engaging central romance, Hospital is sickly entertainment at best and mind-destroying cinematic pollution at worst. Sep 17, 2002 Full Review Manohla Dargis Los Angeles Times A dreary indulgence. Rated: 2/5 Sep 12, 2002 Full Review Lou Lumenick New York Post It's quite diverting nonsense. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 9, 2002 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Aug 22, 2005 Full Review Apollo Guide Rated: 80/100 May 13, 2005 Full Review Edward Havens FilmJerk.com The leads we are given here are simply too bland to be interesting. Rated: C Dec 10, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Tries to combine romantic comedy, soap-opera parody and murder mystery, but the disparate elements never gel, and the film, about homicide at a daytime television serial, bounces around with no clue of how to reconcile or intertwine its genre conventions. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
