Product: Doc Hollywood [VHS] (1991)
Rating: 5.0
Just a review of the movie
As far as the DVD itself goes, it is definitely nothing fancy. Hopefully at some point in the future it will get a better treatment, but as far as the movie goes it is great. Personally I think it was Michael J. Fox's best movie outside the Back to the Future series.It is a classic fish out of water story. Doctor is driving across the country to take a job in Los Angeles and gets stuck working at the hospital in a small town after destroying the town judge's fence. It is totally absurd from a reality concept, but it is one of those stories that if you can suspend your disbelief on that part, you can enjoy the rest of it. I think all the actors did a great job. The great David Ogden Stiers was awesome as the mayor, but even all the supporting actors did well and brought something to the story.Even though the story is predictable, and you can see where it is going from a mile away, the acting is great, and the story is told in a very entertaining way. Like I said before, the DVD is very bare bones. No features and not the best DVD transfer. But at the moment it is between this and the VHS version, and for $6 I think this is worth having in your DVD collection.
