Steve D 08/21/2023 Airplane but without any of the jokes landing. See more Harsh C 07/31/2021 A few chuckles but pretty stupid See more Bill T @Spuzz 11/22/2020 Watched this one a few times in the 80s and thought this was a good time. Time has definitely not been good to this one. Humor is often sophomoric, tasteless, and just not that funny. Some cute bits though. See more 06/09/2020 It is like a double episode of General Hospital scripted by the writers of Airplane! on bad drugs. Actually, it's not even that good. See more 10/16/2012 Like to turn your brain off and laugh at some goofy stuff? This could fall in that category. I saw it a long time ago and still remember a few very funny things. "You want me to stop swearing? OK. I don't give a fuck about that." Paraphrased of course from Joe Pantaliano as a cross-dressed/in-disguise Italian mobster with latent homosexual tendencies. Head surgeon Dabney Coleman to Michael McKean: I hear you're quite an asshole. I like that. Harry Dean Stanton as pathologist tasting ALL the fluids of the human body. McKean fakes him into drinking piss. Pamela Reed as head nurse: Which assistant nurse would you like, Doctor? Dabney: The one with the tits. Pamela (sighs): OK . . . Cindy. Lots of stars in this film. btw The above is entirely from memory having watched it 20+ years ago. I will re-watch it just to see what I forgot (and correct the above) See more 11/12/2011 Garry Marshall may have given us some great TV comedy his foye into film wasn't always as successful. Young Doctors in Love is one of those cases. Easily R rated sitcom material the jokes are hit & mostly miss even sorta scrapping that Zucker level that will make you groan instead of cracking a smile. It's one of those films that you throw as much against the wall & see what sticks. It's very lucky to have a good cast that does more w/ the material then it rightfully deserves. Personally I got the most enjoyment out of Harry Dean Stanton, Hector Elizondo & Dabney Coleman. They are really the comic gold in this film that tries so hard to win you over. It's a strange mix of dead pan & zany comedy w/ a mix of romance that doesn't always work. Could have stood to go through another rewrite but the sugar boobies were appreciated especially from Coleman's Xmas gift from his staff...I wish that someone thought as much of me to give me such a holiday gift See more Read all reviews
