Movie Info

Marisa Silver helmed this tightly directed hospital drama reminiscent of David Swift's 1962 The Interns. Jimmy Smits plays Dr. David Redding, who guides seven student doctors through their third year of residency at Los Angeles Central's medical school. The cast includes Laura San Giacomo as Lauren Rose, a hard-working waitress putting her uncaring husband Kenny (Jack Gwaltney) through medical school; Kenny eventually breaks down the resistance of cool fellow student Gena Wyler (Diane Lane).

R, 1 hr. 42 min.

A seriously familiar and entirely predictable tale of young doctors in love.

4.5/10. Melodramatic fluff, hardly believable, surprisingly not very well acted. It frequently did not hold my interest and very much was looking forward to it ending. Nothing in the least bit special.
