While this 2004 movie "White Coats" (aka "Intern Academy") is a funny enough comedy, then it just wasn't particularly memorable or outstanding in the vast ocean of comedies available.Sure, it was an entertaining enough movie for what it turned out to be, just a shame that it didn't manage to stand out in the crowd. And if you have seen "Scrubs", then you have essentially already seen "White Coats" as well. Yes, it was the exact same formula used for both projects.The acting in the movie was good, and that did help the movie along quite nicely. And it was a good change of pace to see a cast of mostly new faces. And it should be said that the various actors and actresses did good jobs with their given roles and characters. And there was no doubt about it being Dan Aykroyd, Dave Foley and Matt Frewer who were the pulling names to make you sit down and watch the movie, despite them not having overly big roles in the movie.It should also be said that there were some good laughs throughout the course of the movie.If you enjoy comedy movies, then by all means do sit down to watch "White Coats", if you have the chance. Just bear in mind that it is not a movie that will leave a lasting impression.

I watched with a friend who commented that this move "blows chunks". It was a waste of time and talent of all those involved. I'm not sure if Dave Thomas was simply mislead or nobody had the guts to tell him this was a bad idea. While I have enjoyed Dan Aykroyd in other movies and would be inclined to suggest he stick to wine, in my opinion, those are terrible too - both the red and the white. This should never have made it past the "pitch" stage, let alone the cutting room floor ... the joke was really on me for wasting my money on this movie. Shame on you Dave Thomas for "phoning in" this script and for Dan Aykroyd and the other actors for not having the cajones to stop it before it became an embarrassment.

This movie was just plain awful. Watched it with my girlfriend, and we both agreed that this movie had no real storyline, it was pointless and quite dull.In few words, this is the Series Scrubs, put together with drama scenes loaned from ER, mixed together with horrible outcome.Don't pay money to see this movie. Don't waste bandwidth downloading it.If a friend asks you to watch it with him or her, point out the fact, that you'd have to be numb from your neck up, to get anything out of this "movie".

It's good to see that great Canadian comedy movies can still be made! Dave Thomas of SCTV fame has written a great modern comedy here. If you like the T.V. show "Scrubs" (and most people do) then you will love "Intern Academy" too.This movie is kind of a cross between the Police Academy movies (in a good way), National Lampoon's movies and of course "Scrubs".Some of the scenes are more adult oriented but this movie will have you laughing and more than once. This is definitely the best Canadian comedy of the year. I have also seen "Ham and Cheese" (awful despite scenes with Dave Foley and Scott Thompson) and this movie is so much better."Intern Academy" also has a lot of recognizable Canadian actors and comedy performers who all turn in good performances.Buy this movie, see this movie, watch this movie!10/10
