An 'Airplane!'-style spoof of hospital soap operas—a brilliant young trainee can't stand the sight of blood; a doctor romances the head nurse in order to get the key to the drugs cabinet; and there's a mafioso on the loose disguised as a woman.

The effect is crass, crowded, and pretty funny, as though the characters from half-a-dozen episodes of General Hospital had strayed onto a big screen and decided to misbehave.

Jennifer Selway, Time Out
Rotten

When a comedy goes wrong, it goes very wrong. Young Doctors in Love goes very wrong.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

There are enough bright moments to make this a passable hot-weather entertainment, if not one worth slogging through a blizzard for.

Janet Maslin, New York Times
Rotten

A dumb and crass attempt to do for doctor movies what Airplane! did for disaster flicks.

Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
