Neil Flynn Movies

With its deft combination of humor and heart, this single-camera sitcom is a both a critical and cult favorite. Scrubs stars Zach Braff as J.D., an eager doctor at Sacred Heart Hospital. With J.D. as its narrator, the show frequently dips into surrealism as it shows his strange thoughts and daydreams. The rest of the characters on Scrubs are equally eccentric: best friend Turk (Donald Faison), bossy nurse Carla (Judy Reyes), J.D.'s reluctant mentor Dr. Cox (John C. McGinley), the anxiety-ridden ex-girlfriend Elliot (Sarah Chalke), and J.D.'s arch nemesis, known simply as 'Janitor' (Neil Flynn). This set contains all episodes from season seven of this popular series.

Upon receiving an e-mail containing the names of every woman he has ever slept with and every women he will ever sleep with, a man set to be married in just one week eschews his wedding plans in favor of seeking out the truth behind the perplexing message in a black comedy written and directed by Heathers screenwriter Daniel Waters. Roderick Blank (Simon Baker) was prepared for a future of predictable, domesticated bliss -- but fate has a funny way of shaking things up when we least expect it. When a mysterious message appears in his inbox and he sets out to discover the origins of the strange communication, he soon finds himself falling for a dangerous black widow named Death Nell (Winona Ryder), who isn't on the list. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

By this time a key element of NBC's Thursday-night sitcom lineup, Scrubs launches its sixth season as protagonist/narrator J.D. Dorian (Zach Braff), an attending physician at Sacred Heart Hospital, learns to his astonishment that his urologist girlfriend Dr. Kim Briggs (Elizabeth Banks) is pregnant. Also in "a family way" this season is nurse Carla Espinosa (Judy Reyes), impregnated by Dr. Christopher Turk (Donald Faison), and Jordan Sullivan (Christa Miller), ex-wife of Sacred Heart's long-suffering chief of surgery Perry Cox (John C. McGinley). In fact, virtually the only principal female character who isn't pregnant is the hapless Dr. Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke), who's miserable about her non-preggie status. This year's plot developments include Elliot's desire to go into private practice, whereupon she is mercilessly needled by Dr. Cox, who at one juncture begins acting exactly like the antihero of the TV medical drama House; a curious malady which causes J.D. to black out at inconvenient times; the unfortunately-not-permanent vacation of J.D.'s nemesis The Janitor (Neil Flynn); the sudden departure of Sacred Heart's resident gossip Nurse Laverne Roberts (Aloma Wright); and a touching story arc involving an Iraq war veteran (Michael Weston). Other choice moments include an impromptu musical comedy inspired by a patient (played by Broadway actress Stephanie D'Abruzzo); the change-of-pace episodes His Story IV, narrated by Dr. Bob Kelso (Ken Jenkins), and "Their Story," with the narration chores shared by Sacred Heart's lawyer Ted (Sam Lloyd), sex-obsessed doctor Todd (Robert Maschio), and Jordan Sullivan; and the guest appearance of Keri Russell as Elliot's freewheeling sorority sister. In the events leading up to the season finale, Elliot becomes engaged to mild-mannered resident Keith Dudemeister (Travis Schuldt), causing J.D. to have second thoughts about breaking up with Elliot -- even as he prepares to move in with Kim. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Series star Zach Braff begins double duty as actor (in the role of young Dr. J.D. Dorian) and director during the fourth season of the NBC hospital "dramedy" Scrubs. In addition to such familiar series regulars as Donald Faison (Dr. Chris Turk), Sarah Chalke (Dr. Elliott Reid), Judy Reyes (Nurse Carla Espinosa), Ken Jenkins (Dr. Bob Kelso), and John C. McGinley (Dr. Perry Cox), season four marks the first of several appearances by Heather Graham as the maddeningly eccentric Dr. Molly Clock, a pyschologist at Sacred Heart Hospital. Also seen this season is former ER star Julianna Margulies as malpractice attorney Neena Broderick, who launches into an affair with J.D. even as she takes Turk apart in court; and Matthew Perry and Colin Farrell, both cast as seriously weird characters. Noteworthy plot developments include J.D.'s brief romance with a girl named Kylie (Chrystee Pharris), kindled after J.D. treats her then-boyfriend for gonorrhea; the ongoing mental torment visited upon J.D. by the hospital's increasingly bizarre janitor (Neil Flynn); and Turk's discovery that he has Type II diabetes. Arguably the season's most memorable episode is "My Life in Four Cameras," in which J.D. fills a former Cheers writer in on life at Sacred Heart Hospital -- while the action plays out in "traditional" sitcom fashion in front of a live studio audience! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Season three of Scrubs is distinguished by the spectacular fashion makeover undertaken by sexy Dr. Elliott Reid (Sarah Chalke), who, after concluding that she has had nothing but bad luck since signing on at Sacred Heart Hospital, figures she has nothing to lose by changing her appearance. Meanwhile, J.D.'s chronic jealousy of his fellow physicians figures into a story arc featuring Scott Foley as Elliott's old flame Sean Kelly (whom she dated briefly in season one). Also, Turk and nurse Carla's (Judy Reyes) wedding planning makes it difficult for them to work together; bombastic Dr. Cox (John C. McGinley) is willing to sell his soul to be residency director; J.D. begins a relationship with Danni (Tara Reid), the sister of his former fling (and Dr. Cox's former wife) Jordan Sullivan (Christa Miller); and Jordan's brother Ben Sullivan (Brendan Fraser), introduced during season one, makes a brief return to the series. Season-three guest stars include Spin City veterans Michael J. Fox, Barry Bostwick, Brady Bunch alumnus Maureen McCormick, and Dayna Devon, co-host of the TV magazine show Extra, whose one-line bit was later expanded into a George Plimpton-like "special feature" on Devon's own series. Sadly, John Ritter passed away just before making his third appearance as J.D.'s father. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The second season of Scrubs opens as the various staffers try to come to grips with surprising season-one revelations. Meanwhile, in his characteristically demonic fashion, chief of medicine Bob Kelso (Ken Jenkins) deliberately steps up the competition amongst the younger staffers of Sacred Heart Hospital, putting a strain on the friendship between doctors J.D. (Zach Braff) and Turk (Donald Faison). As for sexy Dr. Elliott Reid (Sarah Chalke), she hasn't much time to pursue her romance with J.D., owing to a problem involving her living arrangements...or lack of same. In a later development, Jordan Sullivan (Christa Miller), the ex-wife of bombastic veteran doctor Perry Cox (John C. McGinley), reveals that she's pregnant, which serves only to make Dr. Cox even more ballistic than usual. And near the end of the season, Turk plans to propose to nurse Carla Espinosa (Judy Reyes), only to lose the engagement ring in a patient's digestive system! Appearing as guest stars this season are three veterans of Scrubs producer Bill Lawrence's first hit sitcom, Spin City: Heather Locklear (as toothsome pharmaceutical sales rep Julie Keaton, who has a fling with Dr. Cox), Richard Kind, and Alan Ruck. Also on hand are John Ritter, who plays J.D.'s dad; Ed star Thomas Cavanaugh, cast as J.D.'s near-lookalike brother Dan; D.L. Hughley as Turk's brother Kevin; Dick Van Dyke as a brilliant but enfeebled surgeon whom Kelso hasn't the heart to fire; Rick Schroder as a "murse" -- male nurse -- whom Elliott briefly falls for; and Jay Mohr as a former student of Dr. Cox, who knows a little too much about his mentor for his own good. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Paul Millander (Matt O'Toole), the serial killer who taunted the squad throughout the first season of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, is back in business. Claiming a third victim, Millander repeats his previous M.O., leaving behind a tape suggesting that the victim committed suicide. But Grissom (William L. Petersen) not only concludes that no suicide has occurred, but also ascertains that the victim's birth date was August 17, the same day in 1959 that Millander's own father was killed -- and, more chillingly, the same day in 1956 that Grissom himself was born. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Still unemployed, Kate (Christa Miller) accepts a job house-sitting for her wealthy neighbors, the Fosters. Taking up residence in the couple's lavish home, Kate meets handsome plumber Scott (Neil Flynn), who in turn helps out when Kate is obliged to take care of the Foster's youngsters Cindy (Tony Scott) and Mark (a decidedly pre-Desperate HousewivesShawn Pyfrom). Faced with the responsibilities of an "instant family", Kate and Scott immediately begin acting like an old married couple, and it isn't long before Kate is having trouble separating fact from fantasy--especially when Scott wants to "go out with the boys". Meanwhile, Drew (Drew Carey) tries to impress sexy handywoman Sharon (Jenica Bergere) and gets an ear infection for his troubles; and Mimi(Kathy Kinney) worries over what sort of retribution Drew has in mind for the notorious "China Prank" a few episodes back. (Trivia note: series regular Christa Miller and guest star Neil Flynn were later reunited in the NBC sitcom Scrubs). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Just as the university research team is about to prove that their new technique will permit water to be used as a fuel, their laboratory is sabotaged and the lab manager is killed. Eddie Kasalivich (Keanu Reeves) stumbles onto the scene and manages not only to witness the sabotage, but to escape from it. When he tries to talk about it to authorities, he discovers that they think he and the other project survivors committed the crime. In reality, a group of energy companies have conspired with interested parties in the government to completely erase all notion of the existence of a way to use water as fuel. The project sponsor (Morgan Freeman) wants Eddie to turn himself in, but before he can do that, he must find enough evidence to clear himself and his friends. But in order to succeed, Eddie must avoid assassination attempts by the real perpetrators. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Rookie of the Year is a light-hearted comedy about a 12-year-old baseball fan who, despite his love for the sport, can't play the game at all. During one Little League contest, he breaks his arm. After it heals, it miraculously becomes a super-human arm that can out-pitch any player in the major leagues. The boy joins the Chicago Cubs and helps lead them to the World Series. Though the plot is silly and contrived, it's a pleasant film that is ideal for young sports fans. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
