        This movie stars comic legends such as Dan Aykroyd, Dave Thomas, Matt Frewer and more. The movie was filmed in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and was written and directed by Dave Thomas, a SCTV alumni. Admittedly, the film does feel short and a bit rushed, but it packs quite a bit into an hour and a half. The character relationships are solid, as is the storyline and plot. Many facets of day to day hospital life are lovingly poked fun at, such as lack of funding and lack of skilled doctors. At times, one of the characters does some narrating, which gives it a "Scrubs" feel. Overall, this is a fun movie, and although it could be funnier, this movie delivers. The audience is left wanting more, which is the way a movie should be. I can definitely see a sequel or tv sitcom spin-off, which the conclusion of the film does leave room for. All in all, I recommend this film.
