Pretty much what you would expect from Gary Marshall, Penny's brother, and creator of such loud obnoxious comedies as LAVERNE & SHIRLEY. Here though the majority of the jokes actually work. Yes it's still juvenile and crude with nothing real amazing, but if you come in with moderate expectations you might be pleasantly surprised. Overall it is genuinely amusing.
There are, of course, the expected bombs sprinkled throughout. The worst of which features Michael Richards as a hit man going after another patient who is apart of a crime family. Richards is always funny, sometimes just when he is standing there. However this gag gets stretched out to far. It becomes redundant and cartoonish. Almost like a very poor man's version of a Wiley E. Coyote cartoon.
The most crucial error is that it has no real edge to it. It's modeled after AIRPLANE, but doesn't have the same satirical jabs. It doesn't try to do to old medical TV shows what AIRPLANE did to disaster movies. It just tries to be funny. It has a vaudeville mindset that eventually becomes too soft, good natured, and one dimensional. It gives you a sort of empty feeling. Kinda like eating a ordinary candy bar while missing out on a rich dessert tray. This is too bad because old shows like MARCUS WELBY M.D. are just begging to be made fun of.
McKean and Young really do look much, much younger here. They make a cute couple. This is before all of Young's troubles and dismal direct to video movie roles. She was still considered the promising, up and coming starlet here. She really does look pretty and has a terrific figure to boot.
Stanton is real surprise. Usually he is given very low key roles. Here he is given a more wacky guy part and he really goes with it. (especially in a very funny 'urine tasting' segment.) Elizondo is also given another rarity. Playing a man disguised as a women. Just seeing him in a dress seems amazing.
Coleman seems wasted. He is well cast, but having him going completely 'bonkers' at the end seems dumb. The worst travesty is with former AVENGERS star Macnee. At first it seems like inspired casting to have such a proper English gentlemen in the middle of such complete chaos. However, after the first few minutes he pretty much just disappears. This is a shame because they could have gone much farther with his character.
