"Doc Hollywood" is a harmless, but ultimately predictable and dull comedy that basically serves as filler on the video racks. The cast is great. Michael J. Fox is always charismatic, but he doesn't have much to work with. What irked me was Woody Harrelson's thankless role. This is probably his most thankless role up to date. At least he was able to squeeze in a funny line/inside joke: "That's not a celebrity. That's just Ted Danson." Bridget Fonda is also wasted. She's not one of my favorite actresses, but she is a good actress and this is the first instance where I actually wanted to see more of her.
This isn't a terrible film, and there are some undeniably amusing moments, but it left no lasting impression on me. The only lasting impression I got was the song in the opening title sequence. God, I can't get that song out of my head. "I am the one and only..."
My score: 5 (out of 10)
