Product Description
MICHAEL J. FOX COMICALLY CURES THE BLUES AS A BRASH M.D. DETOURED EN ROUTE TO A FAST-LANE BEVERLY HILLS CAREER BY CAR TROUBLE IN A SMALL TOWN RIFLE WITH ECCENTRICS.
Amazon.com
At first glance, this 1991 comedy looks like another formulaic fluff-piece with a standard fish-out-of-water scenario--in this case a hotshot young doctor (Michael J. Fox) whose cross-country drive to become a Beverly Hills cosmetic surgeon is interrupted when he crashes in the rural hamlet of Grady, South Carolina. But as Fox's character is urged by the folksy locals to stay--an offer made tempting by his romance with a law student (Julie Warner)--this unassuming little movie just gets better and better thanks to a sharp script and a splendid supporting cast. Well, okay ... maybe Woody Harrelson and Bridget Fonda aren't used to the fullest of their abilities, but for the most part this is a charming and surprisingly intelligent comedy that's good enough to compare favorably to My Cousin Vinny, a film with which it shares much in common. Fox has all the right moves to make his character both bullish and ultimately agreeable, and Julie Warner's performance may leave you wondering why this fine actress didn't immediately rise to stardom. --Jeff Shannon

 Excellent June 23, 2009
Mark E. Wilows
This is an excellent film about the love of country life in today's rather complex world.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Yes, it maybe a chic flick, but its worth owning and watching again. I had the pleasure of staying in Micanopy, FL, where this was filmed and it's a charming town. I could talk about the reality of life isn't always what we expect it to be, or want it to be.. but, I wont. Doc Hollywood is a great movie. Enjoy!
Small Town Life May 18, 2009
Jason C. Dean (South East USA)
Norman Rockwell would love this movie. A hot shot doc gets broken down in what at first appears to be a backwards little hic town. Slowly the charms of small time life peak through as it shows almost the perfect life (At least for what many people want).
Small time old fashion life is presented so well that by the end of the movie I was wanting to be 'stuck' there as well. The movie goes on to focus on the things that are really important in life.
My only complaint is that this movie is 90% clean and geared towards family viewing. However for some reason, they decided to slip in several things that were not needed at all which gives it an R rating. There are a couple uses of the 'f' word out of nowhere which does not fit the style of the rest of the movie and 1 totally unnecessary nude scene. Other than that the movie is very clean and family oriented.
My other slight complaint is that the movie gears a little on the 'liberal' side with certain parts which again do not really fit with the rest of the movie or the Characters. But this was not that big a deal.
While we love the movie and always enjoy it, due to the adult parts; we do not watch it as often and ONLY when the kids are in bed. It is a shame but we have little choice.

This a good movie on tv but, there is nudity and language that I didn't know was there. I can't let my grandaughter watch it.

This particular movie is terrible, in my opinion. Just is not my kind of
movie. Very bland.
