just a funny movie
it has no lifes meaning just a lot of funny people playing funny parts.

Just like UAG - Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara
Oh God, as a graduate of UAG I should say that this movies is nothing like the movie but I can't lie. The Madera's own the med. school.. the Leano's own the med. school. The Dean does not care about students.... Dean Villalobos and Martinez Sandoval dont care about the students. The infrastructure is a bit outdated.... you guessed it!! UAG's buildings are as old as Fenway without any upgrades. Oh yeah, the pride and joy of the institution is the infamous PMC program: "Programa Medicina en Comunidad", just like in the film!!!! It is a riot! If you plan to go to UAG you must watch this film. If you get a hold of it, bring it down to Guadalajara so you can laugh.

Bad Medicine
This movie was so hilarious! I never saw it in the movie theater I don't believe. WAIT A SECOND! On second thought, I DID SEE IT in a movie theater. I thought it was funny though. The part where Guttenburg, Armstrong and the other intern, needed a cadaver (not sure on the spelling) for a grade, and they took a body from the morgue who the Central American police shot and killed. The man turned out to be a cousin of a taxi driver and it scares the bejesus out of him. And the other part is when Guttenburg and the doctor school secretary made out in the limousine and Gilbert Gottfried was looking at his reflection on the tinted windows but didn't see what was going on in the limo. Anyway, I hope that 20th Century Fox puts this out on DVD cause it is an absolute CLASSIC!!! See if you see in there Bill Macy (MAUDE) in there he plays the role of Jeffrey's father. Jeffrey played by Police Academy's Steve Guttenburg.

Well made comedy, has become a Cult Film.
A young man(Steve Guttenburg) is attending a `low tech` Med School in Central America. While he meets Students from Med School (Julie Hagerty, Curtis Armstrong and Julie Kavner). Without the Knowledge of the Head Doctor of Med School (Alan Arkin). The Studients set up a Medical Clinc in a nearby Village, where the Care is Inacceptable.

Directed by Harvey Miller (Getting Away with Murder) made a Satisfying Comedy. Good Comic Performances by the Cast. A Box Office flop in Theaters but it`s has life on Video. Forgettable to Others but those remember the film foundly has become a Cult Following. Grade:B+.

Must see before studying at UAG!
If you are thinking of studying medicine at the Universidad Autonima de Guadalajara, you must see this film first! Having been there, I can tell you there are schools like this. Rumor in Guadalajara is that this film is banned, and the witer went to UAG.

The setting is fanciful, but everything else is a fantastic portrait of the administration, students, and faculty at UAG. UAG has better facilities, and much more than one cadaver. However, the school is owned by a single family, and the administration does exercise dictatorial power over students. Many of the characters in this movie you will meet your first week of school at UAG.

Bring this movie with you, it has considerable black market value in Guadalajara!
