( Showing 1-14 of 14 Tomatometer Reviews, sorted z-a )   "The director, with his fake backdrops and stately pacing, never settles on a consistent tone." -- Chuck Wilson, L.A. WEEKLY   "The film's tone and pacing are off almost from the get-go." -- Jean Oppenheimer, NEW TIMES   "A deliberative account of a lifestyle characterized by its surface-obsession – one that typifies the delirium of post, pre, and extant stardom." -- Jon Lap, APOLLO GUIDE   "The leads we are given here are simply too bland to be interesting." -- Edward Havens, FILMJERK.COM   "This derivative flick cops too much from much-better films like Tootsie, Nurse Betty and Soapdish." -- E! ONLINE Soundtrack Books All Related Items   "You've already seen Heartbreak if you've watched the far superior Nurse Betty or Sunset Boulevard. Even the unwatchable Soapdish is more original." -- Michael Phillips, CITYSEARCH   "Unfortunately, Heartbreak Hospital wants to convey the same kind of haughtiness in its own sketchy material but this territory has already been explored previously with better aplomb and sardonic wit." -- Frank Ochieng, THEWORLDJOURNAL.COM   "Desperately unfunny when it tries to makes us laugh and desperately unsuspenseful when it tries to make us jump out of our seats." -- MaryAnn Johanson, FLICK FILOSOPHER   "Dodgy mixture of cutesy romance, dark satire and murder mystery." -- Ken Fox, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE --  Click to read the article. -- BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE Cream of the Crop ROTTEN 20%   "Sluggish, tonally uneven." -- Laura Rothstein, VILLAGE VOICE   "It's quite diverting nonsense." -- Lou Lumenick, NEW YORK POST   "Other than a mildly engaging central romance, Hospital is sickly entertainment at best and mind-destroying cinematic pollution at worst." -- David Hunter, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER   "An excruciating demonstration of the unsalvageability of a movie saddled with an amateurish screenplay." -- Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES   "A dreary indulgence." -- Manohla Dargis, LOS ANGELES TIMES
