Nurse no oshigoto: The Movie

This is a very funny movie with several goofy characters. It is set in a hospital where a hypochondriac takes the nurses hostage. Nurse Azakura is so distracted by having fun that she often gets in conflict with the head nurse Ozaki. Ozaki is in trouble with the chief nurse for being too lenient towards her nurses and patients. That's when a hypochondriac takes them hostage for not letting him admitted for an operation. The movie hits a seemingly unnecessary and melancholy wrinkle towards the end. It is so protracted that it almost saps away the good excitement that it has generated all along. Everything ends well so no worries.

Alisa Mizuki playing nurse Azakura is quite funny but the mannerisms of Uno Kanda playing Akagi take the cake. Nurse Ozaki switches between being playful and angry so quickly that it will surprise you.
