Synopsis
Zooming to the fast money and easy life as a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, a young doctor is detoured when he accidently chases his Porsche into a fence. The judge, not taking the destruction of his property lightly, forces the doctor to community service as the town doctor. In spite of himself, the small town and its eccentric inhabitants start to grow on the doctor.
Critics' reviews
- "Despite the fact that Doc Hollywood isn't exactly brimful of surprises, it's awfully easy to take because it seems a throwback to the kind of formula movies studios used to grind out by the bushel in the '30s and '40s"
- "'Doc Hollywood' draws its energy almost exclusively from cliche. The cornball rowdiness is partially redeemed by the good cast"
- "Director Caton-Jones has given the film a few moments of charm and gentleness, though the movie would be a lot more beguiling if it weren't so sure of itself."
