SPOLIER: Urban legends portrayed in this movie (most false): - While it's well documented people have shown up in hospital emergency rooms with various bizarre objects lodged in their rectums (like a little girl's doll as in this movie), the doctor's remark about earlier finding live animals lodged in some patient's rectum is pure folklore. - Medical students go to bar, find out that one of their female classmates is working as a stripper to pay her way through medical school. - Students in a biology class are asked to take saliva swabs from their mouths and examine them under microscopes. One female student's swab reveals the presence of sperm from giving oral sex just before class. - The doctor's remark that the hospital administrator would harvest his kidneys while he's asleep and sell them to Indonesia. - Inattentive cleaning lady caused death every Friday when she unplugged patients' life support systems to plug in her floor polisher. - Woman having sex with guy she just met in waiting room. Doctor comes in and informs the couple the woman just tested positive for several STDs. - Cadavers used in medical colleges were formerly homeless people or unclaimed bodies. - The exploding colostomy bag. - a mature woman can't figure out why how she became pregnant because she's too naive about what the sexual act is.

Not what I expected, but entertaining.

I was expecting a lot more comedy with Dave Thomas, Dave Foley and Dan Ackroyd, but instead watched a simple entertaining movie done with a light atmosphere. It certainly makes fun of being an intern and will make you laugh out a few times. What it isn't is a laugh a minute.

Certainly the actors who play the set of interns the movie is mostly about all have bright futures ahead of them. Most notably Christine Chatelain, Jane McLean, and Peter Oldring. I'd be remiss if I didn't add the head nurse - Linda Boyd. Of course the three stars I named at the start of this review all did fantastic jobs. The others certainly had their moments of comedy.

Everyone is excellent in their parts and while it's not an overly dynamic movie, it's worth seeing with some popcorn when you're in a mood for light comedy.
