White Coats (2004) 7/10

Starring : Dave Thomas, Carly Pope, Dan Aykroyd, Dave Foley
Director : Dave Thomas
Running Time : 95 mins

A group of trainee doctors struggle through their internship at St Albert's Hospital, one of the most understaffed and undervalued hospitals around, having to face problems such as a lack of teaching staff, a lack of equipment and a lack of respect. As their months progress, they become close friends, until something comes between them that could cost them their careers.

I’m shocked to say that I actually enjoyed this film. Despite the fact it just felt like an extended episode of Scrubs, the light humour, obvious sex jokes and eventual drama mixed together to make a very watchable movie that brings some old school comedy actors, such as Dan Aykroyd, Dave Thomas and even Matt Frewer (who has had his whole shtick stolen by Jim Carrey).
