Barnard Hughes, Bernard Hughes, Bridget Fonda

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... ) 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

    This is solid romantic comedy starring Michael J. Fox. A story about a hot shot doctor on his way to a new job when he gets stuck in a small town. Of course this town is in need of a new doctor and try and sway him into staying. Along the way he meets the interesting towns folk a...( read more)nd falls in love. Michael J. Fox is quite good in this film. Even Woody Harrelson who has a small role was funny in this. A charming fun film to check out.
