★★★★★ · Fun and prophetic movie · ghostmadl · 2013-09-16
This is definitely a view into today's issues! The man that told Kitty she was overweight is nuts. (Yes, I realize he was playing a role.) The doctor is so slimy how could they not see through him! LOL
★★★★ · Like a train wreck - I just couldn't help but watch. · kareneliot · 2005-12-09
Fad diet/exercise guru wreaks havoc on lives in a small town. Disturbing, twisted, accurate, creepy. This movie was funny. There is another Dr. Christian movie - The Courageous Dr. Christian. That one is dramatic. So, The two are like a set. One comedy, one drama. Both good, but Dr. Christian Meets The Women is better.
