A fisherman's son goes through medical school with a bad attitude, especially in cadaver class.
“This medical school drama finds its stride as a character study, offering an engaging look at the intense pressures of first-year students. Its blend of lighthearted romance and serious academic struggle makes for a surprisingly effective film. Matthew Modine's performance as the unconventional Joe Slovak anchors the narrative.”
Anyone interested in character-driven dramas about academic challenges, medical school settings, or films exploring the journey of young adults finding their path.
