Wonderful character development!

Purely Joyful Movie!

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Hawthorne was a phenomenal TV-Series that brought a lot of drama, romance, sad moments, emotional moments overall etc. Despite audiences who didn't love it. Hawthorne still stands as a outstanding show because there's lots audiences who did love it. Jada Pinkett-Smith was a true hero in this one to her patients. She putted on a great performance and she brought her best and another side of her that we never seen before. The cast was electrifying. It sucks that they ended the show after the finale. Hawthorne should have continued because this was a great show they brought a great impact and it was great to have Marc Anthony a part of the team. I agree with most of the reviews Jada putted on a great character and the entire cast and guest stars were unbelievable great. The show should make a comeback and we wouldn't miss for the world. A great hospital drama creation.

I hear that the show has been canceled, and while it is sad that the fine (albeit underused) talents of James Morrison and Anne Ramsey will have to go looking for other work, I could not be happier. It's not just that the whole "health care professional who cares too much" theme is so tired and sick that it vomits self-satisfied dust. It's not that Jada (Whoever) Smith is an actress without the ability to even talk herself into a speeding ticket. It's not even that costar Marc Anthony exudes all of the machismo of a crack-addicted, syphilitic squirrel. The fundamental problem with this show is that although it tried to sell itself as a medical drama, it was in reality simply a comeback vehicle for (Whoever) Smith. Successful medical dramas are almost always the result of well thought out writing and ensemble acting. "House", for example, also has the main character's name as the title, but nonetheless employs a cast of well-developed ensemble players. Ensemble playing was apparently not considered appropriate for "Whoever" Smith's comeback vehicle, so the story line turned away from medical themes and devolved into a not very well done cesspool of soap operatic rape, rage, angst, and infidelity story lines. Better off dead!

First of all...here's what I like about this show: It's highly entertaining, has interesting characters, and Jada is very likable as playing the role of Super Nurse Extraordinaire (aka Nurse Hawthorne). I like how this show portrays the role of a nurse in a more positive light...As opposed to "Nurse Jackie" portraying a nurse as a junkie and a slut...Which I find to be very offensive to nurses in real life...This show does not do that.Critical review: It's far-fetched in the sense that NO nurse in real life goes out of their way like Nurse Hawthorne does!!! It's just doesn't happen...But with that being said--it's what you would LIKE to see nurses be like! You'd love to have a no-nonsense, caring crusader for the patients in need...I give it an A for entertainment...It's a feel-good show!!

Hawthorne is a bad as ER was good. This show is absolutely not believable. Not unbelievable, but not believable. In the most recent episode, Hawthorne moves an ICU patient to a storeroom. Sure, she moves out the stuff from the storeroom and brings in some nice touches but are we supposed to believe that this is even remotely possible? PLEASE!!! Give me strength. She's supposedly the head nurse of the entire hospital yet she spends half of her time dealing with her whiny semi-delinquent daughter. The daughter character is enough to kill the show on her own but the Hawthorne character seals it's fate. This show is dead, morte, finito. Hopefully soon. Not that I'll waste one more minute on this drivel.
