Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

hmegan-77878 I enjoy the show very much but I've also seen Grey's and I am watching an episode where a doctor from Grey's comes in as a college student that is pregnant. It kind of makes those who have seen both confused. If the writer ever lets both shows entwine then do they just hope that the viewers forget the fact that one of the doctors from one show was a patient in another. I would really like to see the shows come together at some point were all the doctors from each show gets to meet each other. I can't wait to see where everyone ends up and I hope everything works out for everyone. I don't know what else to say other than this is a great show.........there I finally made it to 10 lines

avidmoviewatcher1221 ***Potential spoilers - only read if you've watched Grey's Anatomy***I embarked on a Grey's Anatomy marathon, rewatching the seasons I'd already watched, then the seasons I hadn't, but when I reached Season 10, I decided to take a break, to watch its spin-off, Private Practice. I'd been wanting to watch it for a while, ever since I saw the back-door pilot. And I am going to be completely and utterly honest . . . I enjoyed Private Practice more than Grey's Anatomy. I loved how we stuck to a smaller main cast, to the majority of them who were from the beginning. I found Grey's Anatomy a little overwhelming from the large cast, the thousand different story lines we followed - and there were so many devastations.Anyway, I loved the cast; I loved Addison - her very first line has stuck to me (something along the lines of "You've been screwing my husband"), but it is her character development, her change from a cold person to someone who is more complex, who displays emotion, that I truly appreciate about her. Of course I loved the other characters, their story lines; Naomi, Violet, Sam, Cooper, Violet, and Pete won me over just as much as Addison. Unlike Grey's Anatomy, I think I will be able to revisit Private Practice, to rewatch the entire series. Not that I'm saying Grey's Anatomy is a bad show - it isn't - but Private Practice isn't as overwhelming and I enjoyed much better.

randy-377 Boredom can drive us to many things, and one of them is watching Private Practice. A so-called medical show, this is an hour with some very unpleasant, unlikable, annoying rich people who sleep with each other because no one else could tolerate them. So badly written, this show could fall into the comedy category for the Emmy's though one suspects the writers take themselves very seriously. Very seriously. Every week, this medical facility is faced with moral challenges that bring out the worst in one another, beginning with the truly absurd Dr. Naomi Bennett. Completely without a hint of charm or likability, this actors job is is to perpetually snarl at the daughter and the ex-husband, and now, the best friend. Second in line is Dr. Charlotte King, a character born out of the imagination of a sober Tennesee Williams. When she isn't spraying her female musk, she is chopping balls off her new husband, the docile Dr. Freedman. Even Taye Diggs character has recently entered into annoying territory as he ponders ethical and moral questions, usually shirtless. The real issue with this show is how bad the characters are and how as an audience, we could care less. At night, these horrible people retire to their beach-front Malibu properties to drink Chardonnay and engage in a game of sexual tick-tack-toe, only to wake each day and pretend they are doing something useful. If this were the show, at this point, the poignant sad folk-like song would be underscoring the deeply felt, overly dramatic moment that will happily lead to a commercial break.

cfbell3 I think the show is pretty, pretty, pretty good..... I mean the cast is great, plot is fairly interesting and fast paced, most of the times taking unpredictable turns which never fail to grab your attention. My only comment is about persistently fashionable cloths and hi heel sandals at the work place where one would think it is inappropriate, but.... as a woman I enjoy it! I suppose men wouldn't mind it either. Overall, I give it 8 points out of 10, which is quite reasonable in my view. Very strong 8. This show fills you with warmth and positive energy up to the very top thanks to the strong personalities of the main characters, Addison, Violet and the rest of the team are doing absolutely great job portraying highly professional team of medical doctors who happen to be also long term friends.
