The setting is cool, and the medical emergencies are kind of fun, but the film sometimes feels like it’s trying to juggle too much. The characters are charming, but I wanted more depth from them. There are moments that shine, especially when the team comes together, but they often get lost in the shuffle of predictable plot twists. The humour works well in some scenes, but other times it feels forced. It’s not a bad film by any means, but it doesn’t quite hit the mark either. If you’re in the mood for something light and a bit different, give it a go, but don’t expect a masterpiece. Show less
