AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Reverend_Wizzar Yes friends its me again, you may remember me from my previous review. I was very satisfied by doogie howser first doogie rhymes with groovy and groovy rhymes with chetcuti who is my idol critic cheticuti rhymes with blue ray and blue ray rhymes with movie. I was very un-sure about this seeing it did not happened to have Adam Sandler in it.My first argument would be that its great because of the time period its set in, I then enjoyed many different other aspects "spoilers" It had vin diesel look a likes in a few episodes which was more enough for me to be happy, at one stage I depicted that I had seen the rock but on many levels of life may I appeared to be wrong.My second argument is that it nver runned out of original yet indiviual content and that played a big role in the movie, Like I implemented before it is a solid movie and a must watch if you enjoy Vin Diesel. - Regards the LU WIZZAR foundation
Dave Evad This could have been an outstanding show had it not been designed to be some sort of "example" of how to still live the normal society expected lifestyle while still being a genius.A kid with this level of mind would not function at home with parents telling him what to do. He was able to work as a doctor with a healthy income and should have left home soon as he started working as a doctor. It was a joke seeing his parents trying to help guide his life. Most parents suck with that part of the job in the first place. Parents always try and hold their kids back based on their own generational and society expectations from 30 years ago when they were kids. Parents have no damn clue how to raise kids in the current time period. Doogie would have better off on his own, but they just had to find a way to restrain him and make him some society expected kid who obeyed his parents and restrained his lifestyle even though he was wealthy and extremely capable of handling his own life. They had him make all the normal mistakes any kid would make when we know that wouldn't be the case being he is above his years in his thought process.The show just had too much sugar, not enough spice.
Desertman84 Doogie Howser, M.D. is an American comedy-drama television series that ran for four seasons at ABC.It stars Neil Patrick Harris in the title role together with Max Casella,Belinda Montgomery,Lawrence Pressman,Mitchell Anderson,Kathryn Layng,Lisa Dean Ryan,Lucy Boryer, Markus Redmond and James B. Sikking. This 97-episode TV series showed the coming of age of a teen-age genius in Doogie Howser,who became a board certified surgeon when he was sixteen years old. At such a tender age,he tries to balance work and life as well as learning about the real world as he grows into maturity.He gets those lesson from his parents,his bestfriend Vinnie and his girlfriend,Wanda.We witness his growth into maturity during its four year run on air.This is definitely one of the best shows during the 90's. No question about it.It manages to combine humor and drama in good way that keeps the viewer interested and entertained.Despite the fact that it maybe somewhat melodramatic in a few episodes,it still provides numerous lessons about life and the real world.Credit also should be given to Neil Patrick Harris and Max Cassella as Doogie and Vinnie respectively as they managed to carry the show during its entire run.Despite the fact that the show was ended abruptly,the episodes are definitely memorable and still worth watching at present time.
c_l_lance Doogie Houser, MD. Just the name brings a smile of remembrance to me. In the tradition of such television classics as L.A. LAW, NYPD Blue and Hill Street Blues, Doogie Houser, MD was a wonderfully funny with a touch of life. As a 30 something adult when I first watched Doogie in late night reruns, I was hooked by its' humor and wit while watching this "kid" with a adult mind, yet the hormones and maturity of a teenager, grow into independence. Memorable episodes include his first day, the late night skinny dip (as mentioned by another viewer), the practical joke he played on other hospital staff only to have it ruthlessly reciprocated, and the apartment with his best friend Vinny. There is some risqué humor but it is nothing when compared to today's standards. I always enjoyed seeing the relationship he had with his dad(James Sikking) and mom(Belinda Montgomery). I had the entire series recorded but sacrificed them for NFL games. BIG mistake!! Doogie Houser, MD will long be cherished by this now 40 something dad and his now 20 something daughters. I look forward to seeing Doogies journal again.
