Gross Anatomy

Rating:
Summary: No Special Features
Review: "Gross Anatomy" is a predictable, but heartwarming, little film about five eager first-year medical students. I appreciated the occasionally goofy medical humor and the fine performances from all the actors, notably Christine Lahti, as a rigidly serious, if ultimately well-intentioned anatomy instructor This film has been sadly overlooked for years; it deserves more than a passing glance.

Summary: gaining the desire
Review: As I first watched this film, I too was in a Gross Anatomy class as part of Athletic Training Program. I think this is a great movie about getting the desire to really succeed, although the interviews were pretty funny.... "gynecology".... A definite coming of age movie that has a lot more than just the simple story, and touches that belief in ones self above all others. Still love the line,"my dad is a cardiologist, I ahve seen lots of dead bodies" ...

Summary: The best med movie ever!
Review: For my opinion the year of 1989 it has been one of the most exciting years in the history of cinema. Three movies from this particular year changed my life. First Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, second Dead Poets Society and third is Gross Anatomy. the last one i saw it the first time in TV but i loved it right away. This movie mixtures two of my favorite items. Colleges and relationships. It has believable and true characters and most of all it has Daphne Zunigha. Its directory it is honest and modest but above all some melancholy corresses the story. I think the character Matthew Modine plays is a genious who he dosen't know he is genious. I loved it and i am waiting for the european edition of the movie because i cant buy it yet.
Dont miss it either youare med student or not...

Summary: I Love This Movie!
Review: Gross Anatomy (1989) -It's about An independent, freewheeling med student enrolls in the toughest course in the curriculum - Gross Anatomy. With his style is at odds with everything around him he must pass muster with the demanding professor and his lab partner who won't let anything interfere with her plans - not even the fact that he's fallen in love with her. **I love this movie cause it shows how involved we are all in each others lives. & how only "one person" can have that influence on us in such a crucial period of our lives. Wanting from us to be better than who we ever wanted to be ourselves! So we be! ....how rare is it to find such devoted people!?

Summary: An Accurate And Moving Portrayal
Review: Having graduated from medical school, I can identify with the issues and feelings portrayed in this film. I think this film was done wonderfully without all the "cliches" and "larger than life" portrayals of other films concerned with this subject. I would highly recommend this film to all interested in the subject and in seeing a well done film in general.

Summary: Perhaps the most underrated film of all time.
Review: I am always disturbed to see the lack of recognition which "Gross Anatomy" has suffered. It is in my opinion one of the best films ever produced. The humour is good, but more significant is the character development which is so perceptive and subtle. It is certainly worth seeing, unfortunately it appears to be unavailable.

Summary: DECENT EFFORT BY MODINE. HARD TO DEFINE GENRE OF THIS FILM.
Review: I found this title in the comedy section at the video store. It is more of a romantic drama with comedic elements. Modine excells at the sensitive smart-aleck role found in "Gross Anatomy," a la "Vision Quest." He plays a cocky med student, with his own way of doing things, thus ruffling the feathers of the more conservative characters he meets. Along the way, he falls in love with Daphne Zuniga's character who don't immediately mesh. Film langours at parts where Modine and Dr. Woodruff argue. However, interplay between Modine and Zuniga is great. Worth a look.
