Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
... View MoreEach character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
... View MoreGreat example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

... View MoreAdult Swim should stick to cartoon and other animation programs. Children's Hospital is just awful. A show so stupid, that I'd imagine you'd have to be stupid yourself to enjoy the show. I actually forced myself to watch several episodes of the show to see if it was any good. In my opinion, every episode was worse. After 4 or 5 agonizing episodes, I finally had enough. Most of the humor is lewd and obscene or just plain ignorant and stupid. There is no sophisticated, witty, or satirical humor in the show at all. However, if you do like this show, then to each his own. Everyone has a different sense of humor. However, as for me, this show is definitely one of the worst.
... View MoreI had the "pleasure" of watching one episode of this show late one night when nothing else was on, and I immediately lost faith in comedy. What is wrong with these people? And you, you who think this is comedy? Please, please just...just don't. The actors, at least, have some talent, but it is entirely wasted on this useless piece of television trash. I can't begin to explain how much this show disgusted me. What exactly is the point of the clown? Was the show written by dyslexic monkeys on heroin? Perhaps, perhaps...seriously, do not waste your time for even a second, it's a bunch of slightly talented idiots making idiots of themselves on camera and televising it. Stupid, stupid, and more stupid...
... View MoreDespite the show's exceptional cast, this is easily the least entertaining show I have ever seen. The show suggests itself to be a parody of medical dramas in general; unfortunately, it lacks story structure and any semblance of realism. There's a line where parody ceases to be funny and just starts being stupid - Children's Hospital crossed that line and walked into the next state. Given the show's plot lines and jokes (or lack thereof) I would assume that the show's creators started out with a goal of making a show that was indeed worse than "Tim and Eric's Awesome Show" . . . and unbelievable as it sounds, they succeeded.
... View MoreSeriously, when I watch Scrubs, I literally fall asleep in my chair. The humor is so dry and the acting so stale, the dialogue so predictable that after watching a dozen episodes, I just gave up, realizing that the show was neither dramatic enough nor humorous enough and especially not creative enough for my tastes. (I'm not here to bash Scrubs, it was just the only other hospital comedy I've seen)But when Children's Hospital comes on: the clever use of politically incorrect humor, the exceptional use of situational, dramatic/tragic, and verbal Irony; the ability to turn what would be a tragic situation into an absolutely hysterical - a purely funny brand of hospital humor. However, it's not a show for everyone, as it may be pushing the boundaries too far for some: perhaps too absurd and too hysterical while often seeming devilish or distasteful - some people don't pick up on the satire or irony too well, but yakno', what can I say? As an Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Venture Bros., Always Sunny, and Futurama fan, I generally appreciate a more absurd, creative, and unpredictable sense of humor.With the show comes voiceovers that are actually witty and funny, instead of Zach Braff's monotonus and predictable monologues; clever characters, and excellent use of satire, I would highly recommend this to anyone ready to watch with an open mind.
