Following his Police Academy status, cute boy, Guttenberg has found a not so matching competitor, more aimed at the straight to video market, but the film is not a total miss. It's quite and surprisingly entertaining, and there are some quite funny moments, and less funny ones. What's interesting is the film's location. Motivated to become a dream physician, and having to go to medical school, he (Guttenberg) is off to a pretty bleak start, getting turned down by many med schools, except one, and with other comedies and these scenarios, we know the remaining one can only mean.... yes, another crazed institution, whatever (check out movie Recruits hitting video around the same time) run by Alan Arkin, at first unrecognizable, and easily the films best performance, and there are some other really good ones too (Grifisi, Armstrong, Gottfried) while Guttenberg is just so so. The comic film has real genuine moments too, with a ending of predicability, well so.... predictable. A gladdened watch, though nothing mind blowing. My analysis.
