Trivia:
SPOLIER: Urban legends portrayed in this movie (most false): - While it's well documented people have shown up in hospital emergency rooms with various bizarre objects lodged in their rectums (like a little girl's doll as in this movie), the doctor's remark about earlier finding live animals lodged in some patient's rectum is pure folklore. - Medical students go to bar, find out that one of their female classmates is working as a stripper to pay her way through medical school. - Students in a biology class are asked to take saliva swabs from their mouths and examine them under microscopes. One female student's swab reveals the presence of sperm from giving oral sex just before class. - The doctor's remark that the hospital administrator would harvest his kidneys while he's asleep and sell them to Indonesia. - Inattentive cleaning lady caused death every Friday when she unplugged patients' life support systems to plug in her floor polisher. - Woman having sex with guy she just met in waiting room. Doctor comes in and informs the couple the woman just tested positive for several STDs. - Cadavers used in medical colleges were formerly homeless people or unclaimed bodies. - The exploding colostomy bag. - a mature woman can't figure out why how she became pregnant because she's too naive about what the sexual act is. more

Second City takes on National Lampoon, 26 January 2005
6/10
Author: thesociety from San Pedro

This movie was a lot better than I thought it would be. This film was killed by critics who were obviously expecting a lot more. Expecting not much at all because of those reviews, it became apparent this movie deserved far better. Every joke was great, the setup and executions were flawless. Dave Thomas' character was very strong, not the idiocy I expected. The main cast of new interns all did a quality job, and I'm looking forward to seeing them all in the future in other endeavors. There was some very intelligent sketching going on. It peaks near a moment when an intern must inform a family of failed operation resulting in death. This joke was long, drawn out and agonizingly funny in a Fawlty Towers sort of way. Then it instantly shifts back to low-brow slapstick. This can be disconcerting for some, but they throw so many jokes at you so fast, you quickly get right into their groove. This is polished comedy brought to you by the masters of the craft.

What wasn't so great was the movie part. They spent the whole budget on the cast, because the set and the costumes all looked "C" grade, maybe even porn movie bad. Dan Akroyd as the partying hospital administrator had me thinking he was skimming hospital funds, right from the beginning, but that is not the case. His character needed just a few lines of justification for his lifestyle and it would be easier to identify with. Matt Frewer's character was interesting, but bordering on unbelievable. They probably cut his believability in favor of outrageousness.

If you are a fan of modern National Lampoon movies, then you should see this one, it's much better. This isn't a "Classic", but it's a great movie to put on when you've brought friends home after a night at the pub.
