This is one of a dime a dozen spoof. It has it's moment and it helps to indulge in a big fat one before viewing. Don't spend half an ounce ont it tought.

Hi, Everyone, Enough of this works to make it a very funny movie for your weekly movie night with the Fenwicks who live next door. The comedy ranges from low brow to pelvis with a couple of stops in between.My favorite part of this movie is Hector Elizondo as Angelo/Angela. There are some guys-in-drag movies that are really fun to watch. If you saw Some Like It Hot, you probably marveled at Jack Lemmon's and Tony Curtis' female personalities. The same was true with Laurel and Hardy when they would don dresses and take on a new character. Hector Elizondo is one of the funniest women I have ever seen on film. It's a shame more ladies can't be this funny in a dress.The lead actors are not as important as the supporters. Like any good truss, they supply support to what otherwise might sag. Michael Richards (Kramer?), is the hit man you want to have trying to wipe you out. He is just slightly South of stupid. Harry Dean Stanton looks like he just returned from drama class at Professor Irwin Corey's Night School. Stanton is funny just sitting down.Taylor Negron shows promise as a Latin lover for some future Tango film. He does a great job here on several levels. Check out his facial expression as he is handcuffed to a policeman during a wedding scene. He also is excellent as he kisses his love interest while he is handcuffed. The blind policeman who is part of the SWAT team has a funny line.There is a lot to like here.You should probably see your Young Doctors every six months if you are over fifty-five or once a year if you are feeling OK.If you liked this, try Tootsie or Naked Gun or The Hospital (1971) with George C. Scott. If you like zany comedies you might also like Movie, Movie with George C. Scott.Tom Willett

This must be the funniest movie of all time. If you liked Airplane, Hot Shots and Naked Gun, you will then love this movie. You will laugh until you cry and then you will laugh some more. An easy 10/10. There should have been a sequel. Well I hope I have changed someones mind. I think the rating is incorrect. Please only people that have seen the movie should rate it

Without hesitation, I'd say this is the best movie I've ever watched. The laughs are non-stop and so creative you can't help but be impressed at the same time. Watch this film at least twice--the first time, watch the main characters, the second, ignore them and just concentrate on the action in the background. Both are hilarious. Like any good parody film, "Young Doctors" takes itself seriously, which only adds to the fun. (Think of "Airplane!" in a medical setting.) You'll especially love the send-ups of Mafia members, and Michael Richards (Seinfeld's Kramer) is priceless in an early role as a hit man from Rhode Island. Every aspect of this film is memorable--from the satiric P.A. announcements to the hypersexed candy stripers. The one bad thing about this film--after seeing these incompetent med school grads, you'll never trust your doctor again.
