Young Doctors in Love
An 'Airplane!'-style spoof of hospital soap operas—a brilliant young trainee can't stand the sight of blood; a doctor romances the head nurse in order to get the key to the drugs cabinet; and there's a mafioso on the loose disguised as a woman.
Critics Sentiment
Michael Richards' hitman Malamud begins failed assassination attempts
Phil Burns arrested for stealing and selling hospital drugs
The film drops significantly from the successful operating table romance scene to the unfunny hospital routine gags that reviewers found tedious
Young Doctors in Love starts promisingly with strong character setups and Hector Elizondo's praised drag performance, peaks early with Michael Richards' bumbling hitman antics, then becomes inconsistent with hit-or-miss gags throughout the middle. The film recovers somewhat for its soap opera finale but never matches the comedic heights of its opening act, leaving reviewers feeling it had potential that wasn't fully realized.
