Présentation de l'éditeur :

The surgery is now open . . .

Simon Mayo and Mark Kermode, the nation's 'go to' experts on all things film, are branching out. In The Movie Doctors - a brand new stage show and book - Simon and Mark will bring a unique blend of deep movie knowledge, schoolboy humour and old married couple-style bickering in their new guise as doctors armed and ready to prescribe movie cures for their patients' cinema dilemmas and diagnose movie ailments. The Movie Doctors will show you how The Godfather and Scrooge can ease the pain of getting old, how for insomnia-sufferers The Piano and 2001 can be the cinematic alternative to counting sheep, or if you're at home recovering from the flu The Lord of the Rings, Princess Bride and Grease are just what the doctor ordered. They'll also examine 'sick' films, and explain why certain films are terminal. The Movie Doctors will be the ideal present for any movie fan. Offering a new platform for Mark and Simon to talk (ok, bicker) about all aspects of the world of film, The Movie Doctors will be the ideal present for any movie fan.
