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

Julie Warner introduced me to manhood.

I remember seeing this in the theaters with my parents and a friend when I was little. Boy, do I remember! I was 6 years old (1991-1985=6) apparently, but I'll never forget that moment when I first noticed a totally naked Julie Warner on the massive movie screen. My parents obviously didn't want me to see an R-rated flick so they took us to see Doc Hollywood, only PG-13, may be a little risque but surely nothing too bad. Well, it was a lot risque, and it was surely something too good! At 6, I certainly was not expecting it when Julie Warner busted out of the lake totally naked and started walking right towards Michael J. Fox, at which point in the movie theater I definitely let out a huge gawking sound, like, 'UGGHH', that I think the whole theater heard. I think I was trying to breathe, but Julie Warner just wasn't letting that happen. She then chats up MJF totally wet and totally bare chested for like 30 seconds. 'You can blink now.' Thank you, Julie. What I remember after the movie was over, is as we were all walking out to the parking lot, my parents were asking us about what our favorite part was and my dad made a joke about how he thinks the entire theater already knows my favorite part. Funny guy, he was right, and it still is.
