Heart Specialist [Blu-ray] Reviews

A rather sad and desperate attempt to capture some of the mix of comic and dramatic expertise found in the television series Scrubs marks Dennis Cooper’s The Heart Specialist. The film really doesn’t know what it wants to be most of the time, and its erratic tone, rocky structure, and indifferent to disagreeable characters make sure it’s not a film for the masses. The liner notes refer to the movie as a romantic comedy, but that’s a complete misnomer. Romance is a precious commodity that isn’t really at the heart of this movie. As for comedy, that’s in the eye and ear of the beholder, but there’s little here that’s really amusing.
