Starting things off, a doctor's life is turned upside down when he's implicated in the death of a global supermodel.
This is Trust Me, I'm a Doctor.
How about we start over? What do you mean? I mean, Sandeep, the question was, how did you meet Anna
Nicole? Anna Nicole Smith died of a prescription medicine overdose, and now we're all wondering who's to blame.
Please look up towards the small plastic bird.
Sorry, did you say small plastic bird? They're alleging that I worked in secret with Dr.
Arosevich and Howard Stern.
The radio host? No, the other one.
Howard K. Stern.
Sandeep.
I
think the most important thing right now is that you be completely honest with me.
This film begins by following Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, played by Cal Penn, a compassionate and well-meaning physician practicing medicine in California.
His life and medical practice are fundamentally changed when he takes on high-profile model and reality television star Anna Nicole Smith as a patient.
As Dr. Kapoor treats her for various ailments, he develops a close professional and personal relationship with her, attempting to manage her medical needs, which is difficult to do among the chaos that is her public life.
His life changes following the tragic and sudden death of Smith, played by Abby Cornish.
Smith died from an accidental prescription drug overdose, and almost immediately, intense media and legal scrutiny turns to everyone in her inner circle.
Dr. Kapoor finds his life turned completely upside down when state prosecutors and law enforcement accuse him of felony charges, alleging that he over-prescribed controlled substances which contributed to her death.
As tabloid headlines sensationalize his relationship with the late star, His medical license and professional reputation and personal life, including his life as a new single father, are all put in jeopardy.
I give this film a... mild shove-it.
So I was debating if this was going to be a mild see-it or a mild shove-it, but first I needed to check to see if the real-life Kapoor had a lisp, which is how Penn played him.
So I went to YouTube to watch a video interview by him, and while he had an ever-so-slight lisp, it certainly wasn't as exaggerated as Penn played it.
I mean, if I closed my eyes, I would have sworn that Daffy Duck was the lead star of the film.
So because that was frequently distracting, I ended up landing on the shove-it side.
It was just a very odd acting choice from a guy that I generally enjoy watching.
