Product Description
Comedy starring Dan Aykroyd. When the best doctors at St. Albert's Hospital suddenly abandon their posts, it's up to the six inexperienced interns to keep the hospital running and the patients breathing. Things aren't what they used to be at St. Andrews, and between the wild parties down in the morgue and the misplaced patients, it's going to take a miracle to maintain the appearance of order in this medical facility.

This comedy is overloaded with laugh out loud moments, ranging from the witty to the plain gross. Sorry for the pretty thin review but really, what do you expect for a review about a comedy? It's either good or it's not. And this one's very good. My only niggle is the striking similarities to the American TV series 'Scrubs'. If 'White Coats' was a deliberate response to 'Scrubs' then that's fine but if not...well, they ripped off a lot of the 'Scrubs' aspects, eg. womanising male narrator, token black guy etc.

Back to some crude, 80's, screwball humor.

Format:DVD
If this film were released in 1986, there would be those calling it a cult, 80's B-movie classic, with everyone trying to find a copy of the out of print VHS, or clamoring for it's DVD release. It's an out and out throwback to the SCTV/Hamburger: The Motion Picture/Revenge of the Nerds days of 80's comedy, and taken on that level, it works really well. It has your typical laugh out loud scenes, along with those that make you cringe and the "what the heck were they thinking" bits. The acting is spot on, considering the absurdity of the scenarios these medical interns get themselves into. Also, the cast spits out dialogue at a very swift pace, making it a watchable film throughout. Sure, lots of the jokes are duds, and they unnecessarily overplay some of the gore found in the medical field, but your side splitting laughs are a plenty and enough to leave you feeling entertained in the end.
Definitely one to check out, if you miss all those crazy, sophomoric comedies of the 80's.

Not As Funny As Scurbs and Not As Witty As House
2 Jun 2008
By Corey Turner

Format:DVD
White Coats not a memorable comedy movie, but a decent attempt. The scenario is rather hackneyed, dealing with wacky hospital interns with hackneyed personalities.
The characters follow the standard traits we've come to expect...
The rebel/quick come back guy, the smart sensitive willing to do anything to prove his innocence guy, the mysterious girl, and a few other cliche' elements to scatter into the nest.
The plot without out spoiling anything is a group of interns who are forced to take on more experienced roles in the hospitals depths. Together attraction, awkward moments, and some slightly funny moments occur as the interns endure the rigors of the medical foray.
All the scenes feel more like a television series and not so much a movie. While thats not necessarily a bad thing, series are meant to be viewed in hearty tightly packed episodes...not all at once. Like medicine taking too much at once can lead to some bad side effects.
The comedy isn't top notch, but their is much worse out their.

It's funny in it's own right

i will admit that the jokes were a little drawn out, but it was still a fairly funny movie. i wouldn't go into this movie hoping for a "Scrubs movie"...it has it's scrubs-isms, but it's a funny hospital movie and that's that. Most of the movie was improv anyway...
i liked it and i have loaned it out to a few friends that also liked it.
