It's a worrying movie. I saw it at a young age and henceforth, The Q. in John Q may have meant "Cue the panic attack for 8 year olds"

Claudia Puig
USA Today

A well-intentioned but self-defeatingly manipulative film that amounts to an impassioned commercial for national health care.Full Review

Denzel Washington is so powerfully earnest an actor that you never want to laugh at him -- even when you ought to be in stitches.Full Review
