Doc Hollywood (1991)
6/10
"I doubt you'd know crap from Crisco."
28 June 2014
Michael J. Fox plays a hotshot surgeon on his way to Beverly Hills when he takes a detour that leads to him wrecking his car in a small Southern town. A judge sentences him to community service as the town's doctor. This leads to many fish-out-of-water situations between the easily-frustrated Fox and the local rubes, as well as his becoming enamored with ambulance driver Julie Warner.

Nice comedy helped by a likable cast. Arguably Fox's best movie post-Back to the Future sequels. This movie gave us the first and only look at what God gave lovely Julie Warner to work with. Also gave us one-hit wonder Chesney Hawkes' only hit, the appropriately-titled "The One and Only." It's formulaic and predictable but undeniably charming and pleasant.
