what would you get if you mix two part er with two part dynasty . you might think that you would get something steamy yet emotionally intrigue . instead and you might end up get an awful medical melodrama call doctor wife . i have never understand why any movie would have it most interesting character kill off in the first fifteen minute . the one and only excusable circumstance would be if you show that character in a lot of flashback . that doesn not happen in this film and it suffer severely . doctor wive have the look and feel of a tv pilot . there really isn not much location shoot to speak of . most of the film take place in a hospital or at the character home . the screenplay be much more interested in introduce a lot of character to you rather than flesh any of them out . a a movie and it be dull and laughable . a a tv pilot and it show that it might have eventually become rather interesting . or then again . maybe not . negative .
