Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe hospital where Matthew Modine's character is interning in was in fact a real hospital in Los Angeles that shut down but was then converted and used as a movie and TV show set. Director Thom Eberhardt while filming had a feeling that he had been there before and someone reminded him that he in fact had been born there. Eberhardt happily responded with saying "Whoa cool"
- GoofsWhen asked for the AV valves separating the atria and ventricles in the heart, Slovak starts with the Tricuspid valve and then abruptly gets "buzzed" incorrect. That is actually correct, and the Bicuspid (Mitral) valve being the other.
- Quotes
David Schreiner: You know, when I filled out my housing application, I asked for a roommate who was quiet, serious, and neat. How did you describe yourself?
Joe Slovak: I lied.
- Alternate versionsThere are at least two versions of this film in circulation. When the Premium Channel Showtime showed the film around 1990-1991 the following scenes were different: During the interview process, when Matthew Modine is being questioned by the admissions staff, a funny line existed in the film where one of them asks, "Why are you here?" Modine's character (Joe Slovack) responds, "I look good in white." This dialog was not present in Showtime's version of the film.
Featured review
Good movie, dumb title
If you loved Vision Quest and The Sure Thing you'll like this movie, because it's sort of a combination of the two (maybe not quite as good). Daphne Zuniga and Matthew Modine play students in med school. She cares too much about school, he doesn't care enough. Will they graduate? Will they hook up? Will Matthew Modine ever get a haircut? Eh, who cares, this is just mindless viewing entertainment. The title is really stupid, who's idea was that? Not exactly a good title for a romantic comedy.
