August 24, 2010Campy, off color, and not so daringly original, Doc Hollywood is enjoyable, if not a slight cliche of the standard comedy. Julie Warner keeps it very heartfelt and original, even if she has to be nude in order for her to be in it.

Janet Maslin, New York Times

Desson Thomson, Washington Post
This isn't a bucolic, small-town romance. It's "Porky's." Full Review

Hal Hinson, Washington Post
The picture, which was directed by Michael Caton-Jones, is corny and filled with quaint country eccentrics, but it has a redeeming sweetness of spirit. Full Review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Dialogue and plot and all the rest take second place to the conviction that two people only have eyes for one another. Fox and Warner create that feeling, which is why "Doc Hollywood" is a sweetheart ... Full Review

Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
Utterly predictable, but well acted, story of a big city doctor forced to reassess his value system after being stranded in a small town. Full Review

Brian Orndorf, BrianOrndorf.com
It works, with a hearty sense of character connection established, making the climax less about programmed theatrics and more about two smart, hesitant people finding comfort in an unlikely situation. Full Review

The whole thing bubbles along nicely in a fresh, witty, unselfconscious manner, making you forget the dated Capra-corn message. Full Review

Rob Vaux, Flipside Movie Emporium
A breezy but entertaining star vehicle for Michael J. Fox.

Robin Clifford, Reeling Reviews
A Hollywood look into small town America that, somehow, rings real.
