A talented but struggling actress (Chelsea Altman) lands a role on a soap opera, but a murderer strikes down one of its stars.

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.

The leads we are given here are simply too bland to be interesting.

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
