This is an EXCELLENT film about two African American doctors.

I had to give this film a 10 simply because it did what so many filmsthrown at black audiences have FAILED MISERABLY to do. This film wasvoid of all the video whore clichÃ©s, and it also skipped the gangsters,rappers, and foul language. It examined several relationships amongphysicians, African Americans, and African American male/femaleromantic relationships on a completely new and refreshing level. I washighly impressed with the films careful mix of light headed humor withsome pretty tough and heavy issues. The film will leave you feelinghappy and sad all at the same time. I saw it at the Boston FilmFestival as well. It premiered at AMC Loews Boston and I truly hopethis film makes it to much larger audiences. Black People (and EVERYONEelse) would LOVE a movie like this- if only the industry was SMARTenough to put them out there!As an extra- if your a doctor, a resident, a medical student, apremedical student, married to a doctor, have a doctor sibling, have adoctor in the family, or know a great doctor period- they would lovethis film as well. It portrayed residency and the practice in atrue-to-life way that was greatly appreciated by the doctors,residents, and medical students who viewed the film. Dennis Coopercompletely his residency in internal medicine- so he definitely appliedhis knowledge/experience to the film and that is greatly apparent.

This is simply an EXCELLENT MOVIE, and as I watched it (beforereading the above review), I was continually amazed at the intelligencemanifested, without the ubiquitous African American stereotypes. Truly"a completely new and refreshing level" -- and first released 5 yearsago in 2006! The director/writer (Dennis Cooper) & everyone involveddeserves kudos. Thank you all for such a great movie. Special kudos toZoe Saldana in 2006; we can see why you started getting top billings inblockbusters! So many movies are truly "blaxsploitation" movies, but asthe other reviewer said, this is just a WHOLE NEW LEVEL. We were ableto look at the real motives of the movie-maker, without being draggedand diverted into well-overdone stereotypes. My wife and I are nowrenting it for the second time! Again, thank you to all involved forthis EXCELLENT PRODUCTION! A WONDERFUL film! By the way, I thinkHollywood needs to take a fresh look at Mr. Cooper. Good viewing!

Great Movie

I saw the movie recently during the Boston Film festival. The movie wasvery entertaining and is something that I believe the world, and blackAmerica is ready to see. It has comedy,drama, the soundtrack is great.It is an all around good film. The characters were well developed, andthe movie had a wide variety of prominent actors, such as WoodHarris(Remember the Titains, Paid in Full), Brian J. White (Trois 3, Mr3000), and the wonderful Zoe Saldana(Drumline, Pirates of theCaribbean). The movie tackles many relevant topics in todays society ina short period of time, and does so with class and grace. This is notonly a story about life in the hospital, however it is a story aboutpeople and their personal journey to discovering who they are, or whothey are going to be.

Worst

I don't get the positive reviews; I thought SKYLINE was the worst movieI've ever seen, but this one just took over the spot as the worst - andI'm 51 and have seen TONS of movies! I read the premise; thought thiswould be a comedy/drama about medical interns in a hospital but itwasn't what I expected! I've worked in the medical field for 25 yrs andI was laughing at the scene where an INTERN is performing a SPINALPUNCTURE...BY HIMSELF??? Dr. Ray sure was left all alone for an intern!Interns are people who have book learning but no hands on experience!This movie would have fit better on TV, like on Comedy Central. I notedthat it WAS a TV movie from 2006? And they just now released it? WHY??There were TWO good parts - the part I fell asleep through (lady sickat a party?) and THE END....

Great movie for both men and women!

I thought this was a great movie for men and women. I liked how theyincorporated health information in with the comedy to help peopledecide to get Prostate Exams and Testicular exams. Two very importantmedical needs for black men. Please see this movie! Thanks for makingthis! I also love Zoe and Wood Harris - as a couple they haveabsolutely amazing chemistry. I wished we could have seem a bit more ofthe life of Ray after he began to feel and care about people. I thinkthat would have been the real coup de gras. I movie did give us a briefglimpse into his new life. All in all I was extremely impressed! I hopeit does well online and in private sales. I would love for the actorsto be rewarded for their efforts.

See the Movie !

Great film... just saw this a week ago and enjoyed the wholeexperience. Good characters, clever plot line and fun to watch. I amnot sure I understand the 3.5 star rating, I thought it was much betterthan that. I thought it intriguing it was targeted at black audiences. I think itworks well on its own and speaks to relevant relationships between menand women as well as physicians in a tough setting. One other thought, this would make a great series and I hope theproducers think about that... whether TV or sequels. I liked thecharacters, I liked the topics and would hope to see them develop overtime.If there is a DVD, I will get it.
