08/22/05
A deliberative account of a lifestyle characterized by its surface-obsession – one that typifies the delirium of post, pre, and extant stardom.
09/03/02
It's quite diverting nonsense.
09/09/02
Top CriticThis derivative flick cops too much from much-better films like Tootsie, Nurse Betty and Soapdish.
09/13/02
The director, with his fake backdrops and stately pacing, never settles on a consistent tone.
09/12/02
Other than a mildly engaging central romance, Hospital is sickly entertainment at best and mind-destroying cinematic pollution at worst.
09/17/02
Top CriticThe leads we are given here are simply too bland to be interesting.
12/10/02
Unfortunately, Heartbreak Hospital wants to convey the same kind of haughtiness in its own sketchy material but this territory has already been explored previously with better aplomb and sardonic wit.
09/15/02
Dodgy mixture of cutesy romance, dark satire and murder mystery.
09/05/02
Sluggish, tonally uneven.
09/03/02
A dreary indulgence.
09/12/02
Desperately unfunny when it tries to makes us laugh and desperately unsuspenseful when it tries to make us jump out of our seats.
09/05/02
You've already seen Heartbreak if you've watched the far superior Nurse Betty or Sunset Boulevard. Even the unwatchable Soapdish is more original.
09/06/02
An excruciating demonstration of the unsalvageability of a movie saddled with an amateurish screenplay.
