_**Likable small town dramedy with Michael J. Fox**_

_**Likable small town dramedy with Michael J. Fox**_ A young doctor in DC (Michael J. Fox) wants to become a flashy, high-paid plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, but breaks down in a quaint town in South Carolina where he gets back-to-basics and learns that some things are more important than money. Julie Warner and Bridget Fonda play contrasting romantic interests while Woody Harrelson is on hand as a rival and David Ogden Stiers as the mayor. The plot of “Doc Hollywood” (1991) is reminiscent of Northern Exposure and was obviously ripped off by the animated “Cars” (2006). It’s an agreeable Southern town drama with fun touches highlighted by likable Fox as the protagonist. It’s like Mayberry R.F.D. with a lil’ edge. It’s always a pleasure to see Bridget Fonda, just don’t expect the alluring apparel of “Shag” (1989) and “Jackie Brown” (1997). The film runs 1 hour, 44 minutes, and was shot in Florida; Santa Clarita & Los Angeles, California; and Richmond, Virginia. GRADE: B-

No wrong notes in this enjoyable tale

Ambitious doctor chooses between small town life and success in the bright lights -- we all absolutely know where this story is going, but there is plenty of entertainment on the way. The story is hackneyed and the messages predictable, but the creators of this film deliver it with a light touch and the odd unexpected twist. Michael J. Fox is a likable hero in the picaresque tradition, bouncing back from all kinds of encounters and events. The character vignettes are entertaining, especially when they behave out of stereotype, for example Woody Harrelson as the home town lunk. You'll enjoy George Hamilton as the toasted-to-a-crisp LA doctor. Having viewed this film twice in recent years, I liked it just as much the second time. It's well done, and I'm rating it as a 7 only because of the triteness of the story. On quality it would earn a higher rating.

A Feel Good, Funny/Romantic Movie.

"Doc Hollywood" is an excellent film and very well done. The comedy is very good throughout the film and the characters are all very interesting. I personally, love small towns like the one depicted in the film.

The cast in this film is very good as well. Michael J. Fox is excellent as always and rakes in a good amount of laughs in the film. Julie Warner is an excellent love interest for the film and looks fantastic in the film. Bridget Fonda looks better than ever and does a great job acting. Woody Harrelson does a fine job with his role, and plays a particularly interesting character. David Ogden Stiers plays a very likeable town mayor and does an incredible job with his role. The rest of the supporting cast is very good as well. Director, Michael Caton-Jones, adds another fine film to his list of films.

I also feel I should mention the music in the film. I thought all the music was very likeable and very good choices. I especially like the title sequence and the song (I have no idea who the song is written/performed by).

This is just a feel-good, fun movie. I would definitely recommend this film to anyone that likes stories about the small town lifestyle and romantic comedies. I hope that you enjoy the film as much as I did. Thanks for reading,

-Chris
