Develiker terrible... so disappointed.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Wizard-8 When I first heard about "Intern Academy" (a.k.a. "Whitecoats), I admit I was intrigued. The Canadian government finally funding a movie that has no pretentious and boring art, and instead is geared to a wide audience? Written and directed by funnyman Dave Thomas? I decided to check it out... though when I got the chance to see it for free, since I have been burned by too many bad Canadian films.After seeing it, I'm glad I didn't pay any money to see it.The problems with it are simple. First, there are the movie's production values. Now, I will admit that in recent years, the production values of Canadian films have improved greatly. But there is still a lot to be desired in a number of them, including those in this movie. While the movie doesn't look dirt cheap, it has the look of a television drama instead of a feature film.The second (and main) reason why the movie doesn't work is simple: IT ISN'T FUNNY. Dave Thomas used to be funny - what happened when he wrote and directed this movie? The theory I have come up with is the setting: A hospital is a place full of pain, suffering, and death. It's still possible to find humor in this setting, but it needs a steady and sure hand. Thomas doesn't seem to have the ability to find funny (black) comedy in this setting. When interns throw human organs at each other, or vomit on corpses, it isn't funny, it's just gross.P.S. - I would like to comment on the inept marketing campaign TVA Films put forth when they put this movie in Canadian theaters. Not only did they release it in about half the theaters an American release usually gets, but the promotion was lousy - I never saw a TV commercial for this movie, despite all the hours of TV I watch. And in the newspaper ads, they did not promote the name stars the movie had (Thomas, Dan Aykroyd, Matt Frewer, Saul Rubinek, and Dave Foley), instead promoting the no-name members of the cast! The problem with the Canadian film industry is not just that the government funds very few movies that might attract an audience, but when one does get made, the government does nothing to push distributors to properly market and release the movies.

ctomvelu-1 We might well ask why anyone bothered to make INTERN ACADEMY when we have SCRUBS, but so be it. Dave Thomas, formerly of SCTV, directed and costars. Dan Ackroyd is also aboard in a small role, along with Dave Foley, late of KIDS IN THE HALL. A bunch of generic young interns get a taste of hospital life at a crumbling facility. Typical hijinks ensue, including a bawdy Christmas party and an incredibly gross organ fight that ends with something very wet and very squishy splattering all over Thomas' face. The climax is a direct steal from POLICE ACADEMY, but that's OK, too. The actors playing the interns are likable enough, and the females in the cast are all drop-dead gorgeous and quick to get drunk and down and dirty and sometimes even naked (which is the way I remember my student years working as an orderly at a mid-size hospital). INTERN ACADEMY, called WHITE COATS on TV, definitely is no SCRUBS. But it will do in a pinch. It's like watching one of those mindless winter ski movies, especially the one with Lee Majors.

Claudio Carvalho The St. Albert's Teaching Hospital, considered the worst in the public health system and administrated by the corrupt Dr. Cyrill Kipp (Dan Aykroyd), receives a new group of interns: the clumsy Mike Bonnert (Peter Oldring), whose parents are prominent doctors and forced him to study in medical school; the wolf Dale Dodd (Pat Kelly), who has come to the hospital to meet women and falls in love for the nurse Cynthia Skyes (Lynda Boyd); Marlon Thomas (Viv Leacock), who like to play pranks with his mates; Mira Towers (Ingrid Kavelaars), who aims to be a great surgeon; Christine Lee (Jane McLean), a very efficient student and promising doctor; and Mitzi Cole (Christine Chatelain), who works as stripper to pay for her medical school and becomes Mike's girlfriend. Leaded by Sarah Calder (Carly Pope), the group spends the year learning how to become medical doctors in an environment of lots of confusion.I loved the unknown and underrated "Intern Academy". The silly story s hilarious, with many politically incorrect gags and jokes about urban legends in a public hospitals, like for example, the corrupt administrator that sells the equipment to raise money; or the student with sperm in her mouth; or the colostomy bag exploding in the face of an intern; or the arrogant doctor; or the lack of respect with the corpse of a John Doe; or the man that arrives with a doll in his rectum; or the promiscuous woman with herpes and other sexual diseases kissing the guy she has just met in the waiting room. There are many other jokes, but one of my favorites is the stupid Ukrainian charwoman that unplugs the life support system of patients to plug the floor polisher. Another one that I laughed a lot is when the clumsy Mike Bonnert goes to the waiting room where three families are waiting news about their beloved relative and Mike commits a series of mistakes. The team of actresses is extremely beautiful and sexy and the actors are very funny. I did not feel the 98 minutes running time; actually I expected to have more. I really recommend this movie for days where the viewer is down or upset to relax. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "Os Estagiários" ("The Interns")

systole___diastole I saw this movie for one reason, and one reason alone. There is an abandoned hospital in my city, which has been explored by myself and my friends VERY thoroughly. We found out Intern Academy was being filmed in my city, and that the abandoned hospital briefly became St Alberts Hospital.The movie itself did not have any appeal to me going into the theater, I was specifically there because I thought it'd be neat to figure out what was filmed where in the hospital. I actually ended up enjoying the movie quite a bit, and it was exciting to see the run-down hallways and treatment rooms transformed into a real (looking) hospital again! I also came upon several props from the movie, including the room tag that says Cyril Kipp room 1234 (the placard beside his office door), along with working scripts from the movie.This isn't a review or anything, I just thought it was neat to see how they transformed an abandoned building into a hospital.
