Summary: a gem of a movie
Review: I didn't like Doc Hollywood the first time I saw it in 1991 --- then I watched it again a few years ago and was blown away by the writing, acting and all-around sweet nature of the film. Dr. Ben Stone is leaving DC for a job doing plastic surgery for celebs in LA when he runs into a picket fence in a small Southern town and has to do 3 days of community service at their clinic as penance. His fancy sports car is totaled anyway and he has to get it fixed. Miffed at being waylaid in such a hokey place, he tries to get through the next few days in time for his new job. He meets a wide cast of characters -- and to their credit, not everyone in a small town is so gosh-friendly. Some are mean, some are troubled, some are nice -- like any other array of people. Ben meets Lou, a single mother who drives the ambulance, as well as Nancy Lee Nicholson, a confused beauty who wants him to take her to LA. This movie is great because it is about many people deciding for themselves how they want to live -- whether in a big city or in a small town -- and why they value what they do. It is also about an epiphany for Ben Stone and changing of his ways internally.

Summary: I'm rating the dvd only.
Review: I had this DVD for a while, and thought I'd come here and comment on how awful the transfer is. I've seen better quality on normal TV without a cable/sat. Connection. The picture is extremely dark in the hospital scene in the beginning. Then there is a lot of grain and I've seen wood with less grain. The grain makes the scene even darker then it should be. Then when he's out of the hospital and on the road, the grain is still very noticeable. I love the movie, but this DVD is just horrible. Sadly there aren't any features on the disc either, so buying the VHS is so much better if you actually like this movie. Transfer 0.5/5
Audio 3/5
Features 0/5 I really hope that the studio that released this film decides to re-release it and do a better job at it. It's not even worth the cheap price.

Summary: could have been better.
Review: i liked the film good story fun bunch of colorful people, but now the down side the bad nudity for one & lauguage for another. minus those things it's a great picture, when i saw it on television i love it the edited version aka airline cut so if you get a chance to see on tv than i recommend doing so personally i think that's the way it should have been released in movie houses in the first place. but if you still want this version i'd recommend that people over the age of 13 can see this. parents may want to view this film first before letting your family watch this. i know i'm old fashioned but it better to be safe than sorry if you know i mean. i would actually buy the edited version of this one .

Summary: A movie to watch time and again
Review: I love this movie from beginning to end. It has a layered plot/subplot that interweaves to produce a movie that keep you engrossed. The characters are well cast and the storyline is outstanding. I have watched it dozens of times and still enjoy it as much as I did the first time, even though I know how it will end.

Summary: Big Letdown!
Review: I loved this movie. I was very disappointed when i watched it on dvd. #1. it's not in letterbox, i guess i should have looked more carefully at the description but when is the last time you saw a semi-recent movie on dvd that didn't have a letterbox version? #2. the quality, it looks almost as if someone just pointed a camcorder at a tv and recorded it and then threw it on dvd. #3. extras - there are none, there is nothing on this dvd but the movie. i was so bummed i didn't even watch the whole thing. this is the first dvd i have bought that was a letdown.

Summary: Maybe the best "date flicks" I've ever seen.
Review: I normally cannot watch movies on airplanes for some reason. I first saw "Doc Hollywood" on the grueling Boston-LA flight, and it immediately captured and held my interest for the entire flight. More than anything, that fact illustrates that this is a truly engaging flick. This is a genuinely funny movie. One thing that this movie does is lay to rest any doubts anyone might have had about Michael J. Fox's acting ability. In my opinion he turns in a stellar performance, albeit supported by fine jobs by the supporting cast. The part where he finally goes to LA is absolutely hysterical, by the way. The story is very simple (no spoilers here). The protagonist (Michael J. Fox) is on his way to a job interview for a position as a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills. He has an accident in a small Southern town ("Grady") and is sentenced to several hundred hours of community service. The town needs a doctor, and its real purpose is to recruit him as a permanent resident physician. Naturally, Doc meets a nice girl and now the choice is between money as a big-shot LA plastic surgeon and lifestyle in a nice rural setting. There's a lot more. I won't spoil it for you. Doc's slow assimilation into the town of Grady is wonderfully done. This movie manages to be both touching and funny, and I say this as one who is normally not much for comedy or date flicks. Michael J. Fox shows in this movie that he had the potential to go far, as indeed he did.
