Plot: 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...( read more read more... )

    For all Michael J. Fox lovers out there, this is a must see. Really cute story about a hotshot surgeon on his way to the big bad world of plastic surgery and big buck on easy street. The detours one the road don't just effect his schedule but change his life forever. Fox knows the farmillar story of wanting to climb to the top of the heap from many of his movies. This one nails it in a terrific, down to earth and charming decision to take the path less traveled. Neat little movie.

    This movie is pretty entertaining. The secondary characters are fun. Michael J. Fox sorta acts the same as usual. But not a bad movie. Just okay.

    Fantastic! It's like, the original "Cars"!! I loved it so much, it was so FUNNY. And it had one of the best, non-cliche endings ever. I highly reccomend it!

    Big city boy meets small town, can't help but think that "cars" got their plot from this movie. Michael J. Fox fits this roll perfectly.

    Would be better without annoying theme song. It's one of those horrific one-hit wonders from the 90s, and you'll hear why. Other than that, as far as the actual movie goes, it's like 'eh'.

    Cute l'il predictable story with stereotypical southern U.S. characters, but any movie that makes a Ted Danson joke must be considered...

    I've never been able to watch "Doc Hollywood" the entire way through. There is something about it that I find very hard to focus on. No, I don't have a low attention span. The story just doesn't interest me.

    Well done, if not formulaic. Watch this and Cars back to back and try not to feel the deja vu.

    Pretty simple little comedy, sweet-natured enough, which will always hold a special place in my heart as, well... it was *BLUSH*... my first time. (ie. the first film I ever took a date to.)

    Yet another flimsy fish-out-of-water comedy in which big city plastic surgeon Michael J. Fow is trapped in a small backwoods town, and realises "what's important in life" (as usual...) Fox is as amiable as always, but you can't help what would REALLY happen to him if he was stuck in one of these hick towns... (Squeal like a piggy, Michael!)

    Michael J. Fox is fantastic in this sweet-natured romance about a doctor who, when travelling to Los Angeles for a job interview, crashes his car in a small town. The interplay between Fox and the cut-off-from-the-rest-of-the-world townspeople is great, as his city life contrasts with their backward ways and lifestyle. This has to be one of the 'nicest' films I've ever seen - everything about it is nice, as it paints a picture of the world that says 'we'll all be okay.' That can't be a bad thing!

    Doc Hollywood is a wonderful and charming comedy with Michael J. Fox cast as the fish out of water A Hollywood-bound plastic surgeon (Michael J. Fox) takes a detour when a fender-bender lands him in a small South Carolina town. Sentenced to community service, he starts work at the local doctor's office and meets the woman of his dreams

    Give it a chance, it maybe predictable and it may just look like the sort of film you would only consider if it had a 50p sticker on it but it is really very good once you get into it I actually love this film!!

    A pleasing film with some nice touches, it keeps relapsing into the mundane and is marred by one tasteless scene with Julie Warner urinating to put hunters off their prey's scent.

    Best movie ever! In fact this movie is my favorite. Above average doctor gets invited to become surgent at a prestigent LA hospital. But with his car breaking along the way he ends up in a strange small town with no banks or access to his money he has to pay off the debt for breaking the newly painted fence but it ends up the town is in need for a doctor and they try to offer him a permanent job. It might be a small town and not particularly to his liking he does find a gem within in. The gem is a girl, love that overtakes all obsticales he finds love for the town and it's people but will he go back to hollywood once his debt was paid off if it means letting go of everything he grew to love the most?

    I recomend this movie because it is one of the greatest movies of a romance comedy starring Michael J. Fox This movie will make you fall in love with the small town and Michael J. Fox

    Not so much sure why..? But I really like this movie. I'd watch it just about any time.. Maybe because I have a crush on Julie Warner.. She's my kinda KeepeR.

    Standard comedy but the lovely presense of Warner and Bridget Fonda make this one a little better than most.
