Physicians need remedial courses in niceness (The Doctor, Doc Hollywood). And lawyers, should they care to join the human race, need a shot in the head (Regarding Henry). Some summer! Whether the star was Arnold Schwarzenegger or Harrison Ford, you couldn't tell the players without a report card...
