Young Doctors in Love is a 1982 American comedy film directed by Garry Marshall.[2] Similar in tone to the Airplane! movies, it spoofs a variety of medical shows (in particular, General Hospital) and has many guest stars from ABC soap operas.

The film stars Sean Young, Michael McKean, Harry Dean Stanton, Dabney Coleman and Patrick Macnee.[2] It also features Demi Moore in one of her early film roles.[2]

Plot

A group of young medical interns join the City Hospital surgery staff run by Dr. Prang, a brash and cynical surgeon leading an expensive and dissolute lifestyle. Meanwhile, old mafioso Sal Bonafetti is admitted to the same hospital under an assumed name after suffering a stroke; his son Angelo disguises as a woman in order to tend to Sal, fearing retaliation by rival crime syndicates. Professional hitman Malamud is admitted to a bed next to Sal's in order to assassinate him, but his every attempt fails, causing Malamud himself to undergo painful and unnecessary treatment.

Reception

It received a positive review in The New York Times, which said "there are enough bright moments to make this a passable hot-weather entertainment."[4] It maintains a 29% "rotten" rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 14 reviews.[5]
