Doc Hollywood
Description
"Two big thumbs up!"
— SISKEL & EBERT
"Beverly Hills. The most beautiful women in the world. Plastic surgery. What do these three things have in common?" Dr. Ben Stone (Michael J. Fox) asks. "Me, in less than a week!"
It turns out to be an eye-opening week. And Doc Hollywood turns out to be a charmingly funny film. Part Alex Keaton of Family Ties and part Marty McFly of Back to the Future, Fox's Stone is a brash, newly-minted MD whose cruise toward the medical fast lane takes a small-town detour.
The town is Grady, South Carolina, Squash Capital of the South and home of salt-of-the-earth folks who give the West Coast-bound hotshot the seasoning he lacks. Newcomer Julie Warner is Lou, the ambulance driver who sends Stone's heart racing. Woody Harrelson (Cheers) is affable insurance agent Hank. Bridget Fonda (Scandal) is Nancy Lee, who hopes Stone is her ticket out of town. David Ogden Stiers, Barnard Hughes and Frances Sternhagen are Gradyites who know it's better to follow your heart than your wallet. The wisdom is warm. The laughs are abundant. Doc Hollywood is a surefire prescription for comedy cheer!
