It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I thought this was a great movie for men and women. I liked how they incorporated health information in with the comedy to help people decide to get Prostate Exams and Testicular exams. Two very important medical needs for black men. Please see this movie! Thanks for making this! I also love Zoe and Wood Harris - as a couple they have absolutely amazing chemistry. I wished we could have seem a bit more of the life of Ray after he began to feel and care about people. I think that would have been the real coup de gras. I movie did give us a brief glimpse into his new life. All in all I was extremely impressed! I hope it does well online and in private sales. I would love for the actors to be rewarded for their efforts.

Great film... just saw this a week ago and enjoyed the whole experience. Good characters, clever plot line and fun to watch. I am not sure I understand the 3.5 star rating, I thought it was much better than that. I thought it intriguing it was targeted at black audiences. I think it works well on its own and speaks to relevant relationships between men and women as well as physicians in a tough setting. One other thought, this would make a great series and I hope the producers think about that... whether TV or sequels. I liked the characters, I liked the topics and would hope to see them develop over time.If there is a DVD, I will get it.

I worked in a hospital for several years and commend this film in its ability to realistically portray the life of an intern and resident at such an institution. I was also impressed with how well the characters were portrayed by the talented actors in the film. Zoe Saldana made her character so interesting and likable, that I could easily see her as someone cool to hang out with.Wood Harris and Brian White have great chemistry on the screen. Kenny Choi's character goes through an amazing progression. Mya surprises us all with an amazing performance and Scot Paulin along with David Lee play characters that you love to hate.It was good to see a film that promoted the concept of African Americans in professional positions - without the stereotypical implications of gangs and violence. The story was touching and inspirational for anyone in any circumstances to feel good about what they do and to believe in themselves.Hopefully, as this country and the world becomes more diverse, this film will not be disregarded and more films like this will gain exposure in all audiences across the board. I think it is very important that this film gets the recognition that it deserves.

I had to give this film a 10 simply because it did what so many films thrown at black audiences have FAILED MISERABLY to do. This film was void of all the video whore clichés, and it also skipped the gangsters, rappers, and foul language. It examined several relationships among physicians, African Americans, and African American male/female romantic relationships on a completely new and refreshing level. I was highly impressed with the films careful mix of light headed humor with some pretty tough and heavy issues. The film will leave you feeling happy and sad all at the same time. I saw it at the Boston Film Festival as well. It premiered at AMC Loews Boston and I truly hope this film makes it to much larger audiences. Black People (and EVERYONE else) would LOVE a movie like this- if only the industry was SMART enough to put them out there!As an extra- if your a doctor, a resident, a medical student, a premedical student, married to a doctor, have a doctor sibling, have a doctor in the family, or know a great doctor period- they would love this film as well. It portrayed residency and the practice in a true-to-life way that was greatly appreciated by the doctors, residents, and medical students who viewed the film. Dennis Cooper completely his residency in internal medicine- so he definitely applied his knowledge/experience to the film and that is greatly apparent.
