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.

Summary: I could have been a doctor, it was just all that chemistry
Review: I would have given this 5 stars, but I have to skip the scene where Doc Ben stone meets "the girl" due to nudity. I especially liked Woody Harrelsons character since I sell insurance. If you like the opening song ONE AND ONLY as i do, it seems that it is not on the sound track and is otherwise unavailable.

Summary: Tear jerking
Review: In the hands of joel schumacher and the acting lead of Adam Sandler, this romantic comedy would have been dumbed down to the level of a third grader and the nudity would have reached gratuitous proportions, but Michael J. Fox does a convincing job playing an upity young doctor who discovers that dreams take unexpected turns---sometimes for the better. En route to Beverly Hills for his dream job, Benjamin Stone (Fox) gets punnished with community service after wrecking a farmer/judge's fence with his car. Fox carries out his sentence while his car is being fixed by two mechanics who act as if they have never seen anything other than a model T and hillarity ensues as city and country folk learn they have a lot more in commmon than previously thought. Belieing the stereotypes of southern women, The ambulance driver Lou, is a feisty animal rights activist and single parent who is well-read. The romantic tension and chemistry between her and Fox is convincing.

Summary: Outstanding Movie
Review: Julie Warner, for me, was the highlight of the movie. I believe she was 25 when she filmed her role as Lou the ambulance driver. A gorgeous woman; especially in the diner (first encounter with Ben Stone). I have read through all the reviews and I had to post my own because someone discredited Julie Warner as an actress. I believe she did an outstanding job. The film is great to enjoy over and over. I am content with my VHS copy. I won't buy the DVD because of all the negative reviews. The movie takes place in a small, rural town in South Carolina (really filmed in Florida). It is a classic boy-meets-girl story. I won't rehash what most people have said thus far as to the overall story. I thoroughly enjoyed Barnard Hughes' role as Dr. Aurelius Hogue. He was the grandfather in The Lost Boys, in Blossom (TV series) and played in numerous other roles. A fine actor. He added so much to this film, I cannot begin to say. I can and have watched this film numerous times. A great treasure to own. I enjoyed it the first time I saw it in the theater and the many times I have seen it since purchasing it. The movie is great, but the DVD is bad. So, I am giving it a 5 as a movie.

Summary: What a Sleeper
Review: Just the scene with Fox and Warner dancing to Patsy Cline's "Crazy" is enough to justify purchasing this film. It took my breath away. It recaptured for me the days of my young manhood, courting the prettiest girl at the dance.
