Prescription for Love

I watched the movie and then read the reviews. I am a little surprised by the negative reaction to Luke. I mean he had his moments and did not do everything perfectly, but he was in a new place, dealing with conflict and had a stressful job. He generally rebounded and his interest in both his interests was genuine. A few imperfections or imperfect moments are not a bad thing, but overall he seemed to have good character as a person, so was generally likeable. Claire was almost a little to perfect in many respects, always happy, always looking great, and well liked except by the "villains". My question: After all that time how can the waiter see her one time and recognize her and they spend so much time together and he not? Maybe the looks changed, maybe, but the voice, the general appearance were similar enough that you would think he'd say something like you remind me of this girl?

This was awful. Another movie where the male lead is spineless and obtuse, the female lead is a wimp. He first doesn't recognize a woman he supposedly likes, the very next time he sees her, though it is only a day or two later. She was soooo special - but he can't remember what she looked like or sounded like? Then she's bullied by other nurses (they don't explain why, and Cinderella story or not - those nurses wouldnt have been nurses if their personalites were that awful). She is too spineless - for not standing up for herself - to him or to the bullies at work. This was extremely unrealistic in too many ways: doctors don't decide who the "head nurse" is. That is soooo 1950's. There are nursing administrators who do that. The nasty nurse at the party was a coworker, not her boss, so would have had no authority to fire her. And to fire her at a party, after only accusing her of gold-digging, would have opened the hospital up for a wrongful termination lawsuit - she wasn't fired for cause. Let's not forget about the good doctor not recognizing her the next time he sees her after the elevator incident - cell phone flashlights are bright enough to see by - so no reason he wouldnt have figured out who she was right away. She wasn't even wearing glasses or a mask in the elevator... Not sure why Hallmark writers like to make nurse protagonists look so pathetic. What do they have against nurses? Would have been better if she stood up for herself a bit and made the good doctor do a bit more groveling. This was very senseless and drawn out, with a very unlikable male lead. Wouldn't recommend even for a one time watch....

The girl looks exactly the same as in the elevator. There was no Clark Kent glasses or anything when she was a nurse. He is like I'm so in love with this girl that looks exactly like you but it couldn't be you. Also when mean nurse started attacking her at the party he wasn't like woah hold on and protect her or try to investigate what was going on. He was took the ugly mean nurses side. This wasn't worth my brain cells to watch. The only thing was good was the girl was sweet and her character was good.

I really liked the premise of the story. Great characters and acting. Totally family friendly. I like how they played off the whole Cinderella concept.

Or don't bother watching this at all. Are men shallow? Even the good ones? Maybe that is what you think and maybe the Cinderella aspect of this story is more important to you than any cliche or the very .. how do I put it nicely? Well the fact our main male protagonist seems to be unable to recognize the very woman he supposedly fell head over heels over ... And she wasn't even wearing a mask or anything. Now that is quite the big point that almost breaks the movie ... actually maybe it does. Maybe you don't care that after that fact it is quite nicely and romantic and speaks to the heart of those who are in movies like this one. If that is the case, you normally shouldn't care either that we get a fairy tale depiction of nurses, doctors, patients and janitors (or is room cleaning person? I actually forgot the job description of one of the characters) ... the main thing to remember: Fairy tale ... are you up for that, with all its flaws or not?

I am a sucker for Romantic Comedies and am a Nurse. I love al of the Cinderella storylines and fairytales. I tried to watch this and did finish it and it's so offense to nurses. It was awful. These are patients and doctors are not princes I. Their shiny white coats to all nurses. No.

The doctor's judgement throughout this entire film was really bad. Having gone to a hospital recently I can say this movie is pretty accurate and explains why you never see any doctors around and why nurses never answer the phone. A million tests and wrong diagnoses, reflective of how this doctor looked and looked for the woman that was right infront of him the entire time. She really should have sued her boss for firing her like that. I wouldn't want to work in the place like this. Like other reviewers said, this doctor is no Prince Charming. Better off being with the nurse guy or the caretaker.
