This is an excellent film about the love of country life in today's rather complex world.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Yes, it maybe a chic flick, but its worth owning and watching again. I had the pleasure of staying in Micanopy, FL, where this was filmed and it's a charming town. I could talk about the reality of life isn't always what we expect it to be, or want it to be.. but, I wont. Doc Hollywood is a great movie. Enjoy!

Norman Rockwell would love this movie. A hot shot doc gets broken down in what at first appears to be a backwards little hic town. Slowly the charms of small time life peak through as it shows almost the perfect life (At least for what many people want). Small time old fashion life is presented so well that by the end of the movie I was wanting to be 'stuck' there as well. The movie goes on to focus on the things that are really important in life. My only complaint is that this movie is 90% clean and geared towards family viewing. However for some reason, they decided to slip in several things that were not needed at all which gives it an R rating. There are a couple uses of the 'f' word out of nowhere which does not fit the style of the rest of the movie and 1 totally unnecessary nude scene. Other than that the movie is very clean and family oriented. My other slight complaint is that the movie gears a little on the 'liberal' side with certain parts which again do not really fit with the rest of the movie or the Characters. But this was not that big a deal. While we love the movie and always enjoy it, due to the adult parts; we do not watch it as often and ONLY when the kids are in bed. It is a shame but we have little choice.
