Bad Medicine

About This Movie

Bad Medicine is a quirky comedy that really embodies the offbeat vibe of the mid-'80s. It follows Jeff Marx, a hopeful med student who finds himself in a Latin American country that’s as chaotic as it is comical. The film dives into the absurdities of studying medicine in such an unpredictable environment, with a dictator who's got his own ideas about medical education. There’s a certain charm in its pacing, a blend of slapstick and situational humor. The performances, especially from the supporting cast, add a layer of unpredictability that keeps you on your toes. You can almost feel the heat and chaos of the setting, which gives it a distinct atmosphere that’s hard to shake off.
