Cuando a Jack MacKee (Hurt), un médico frío y distante, le diagnostican una enfermedad, pasa a ser un paciente más de su propio hospital. Entonces sabrá lo que sienten los enfermos, tendrá que confiar ciegamente en un sistema médico que sabe que no es infalible y habrá de soportar con paciencia unos trámites burocráticos que se eternizan, unos reconocimientos humillantes y unas abarrotadas salas de espera... (FILMAFFINITY)

A black comedy set in a funeral home.

This is a splendid little sleeper of a movie. Ernie Kovacs was one of the giants of early television. I think he would be pleased with the way Jeff Goldbloom captures his wonky personality. Melody Anderson also distills that of Edie Adams. There is a very basic heart tugging story about the search for Kovacs' two abducted daughters. But at the same time the film is funny --- Cloris Leachman is a hoot as Kovacs impossible mom --- and has many of the offbeat and innovative qualities of the old Kovacs show itself.
