Not So Good
lia0002729 March 2006
I won't recommend this movie to anyone since it's not a good movie. The whole story is nonsense although sometimes it's quite funny. However I don't like the story because it's not focus in the couple's story but it has too many characters. Fujiki is quite funny but not that funny and the whole movie seemed rubbish especially the ending,it didn't explain much when she's survived from the shot. I feel deep regret after buy this movie. Actually it isn't that bad if the story can be more focused in the couple's story and make it makes sense. Hope they will make better movie.

A shameful for Japan movies that usually good, this one is terrible.

Better than Carry On!

I must admit that when I started watching this I thought it seems like an average Carry On... movie, which I don't find at all amusing. I almost switched it off. However, I am glad that I persevered as it gets better and better. I ended up thoroughly enjoying it.

It's a very well made movie with plenty of laughs and good character portrayals. If you're in the mood for a break from reality and a good laugh I recommend this little gem.

This movie was SO funny!

Warning: Spoilers
I don't know why anyone would give this movie a bad review. Sure the plot is really silly sometimes, but the whole goal of the movie is to make you laugh, and to me that was just fine. I did that a lot. It has many small sketch-type of moments, so if you enjoy physical/slapstick and sometimes goofy humor, and sketch comedy shows like Monty python, Mad TV, SNL, or Who's Line Is It Anyway, this is a good movie for you to watch. :)

The plot involves a hospital with many nurses, and of course there are one or two nurses who really stand out of the crowd. The main character is a nurse who always seems to be breaking the rules or having something unfortunate happen to her. She is at odds with the lead nurse who is always reprimanding her for breaking the rules but actually has a warm heart and cares deeply about her. There is some romantic tension between the main character and one of the doctors. And when a disgruntled patient returns to the hospital with more on his mind than a check up, watch out!

Very funny movie
zomberi17 September 2023
This is a very funny movie with several goofy characters. It is set in a hospital where a hypochondriac takes the nurses hostage. Nurse Azakura is so distracted by having fun that she often gets in conflict with the head nurse Ozaki. Ozaki is in trouble with the chief nurse for being too lenient towards her nurses and patients. That's when a hypochondriac takes them hostage for not letting him admitted for an operation. The movie hits a seemingly unnecessary and melancholy wrinkle towards the end. It is so protracted that it almost saps away the good excitement that it has generated all along. Everything ends well so no worries.

Alisa Mizuki playing nurse Azakura is quite funny but the mannerisms of Uno Kanda playing Akagi take the cake. Nurse Ozaki switches between being playful and angry so quickly that it will surprise you.
