Movie Info

A couple of med-school wannabes (Steve Guttenburg and Julie Hagerty) can't get admitted to any U.S. medical schools so they end up in a small Central American school run by a dictator director (Alan Arkin). When the students become aware of the medical needs of the local peasants, they swipe drugs and pills from their college lab and set up an underground clinic to serve the needy. ~ Rovi

  • ... os so good-humored that you find yourself rooting for it at every spurt of irreverence even as it moves in a rather disorderly way to a gushy conclusion that undermines what has gone before.
