Product: Doc Hollywood [VHS] (1991)
Rating: 5.0
Under-represented gem of Michael J. Fox
This movie, while cheesy, is a very succinct representation of the human condition. We think that we have it all figured out, and all of a sudden we are struck with the realization that we aren't in control. Upon that discovery we try to fight back to realize that we didn't know as much as we did; however, realizing that we have weak spots we begin to trust in who we are.This movie is a tremendous tale for those who think exceptionalism in one aspect of life = exceptionalism in all. To be slightly ridiculous, I could see the mayor is realistically a Buddha figure in this movie. While not watching it more than is warranted based on the need, I think you could agree that this movie is a little more deep than it is given it's just reward.At least love, in all it's complication is given it's due. I don't remember the last time I saw a lead character give his all for a girl with a daughter...which is wonderful.Get over yourself, use your human reasoning, and enjoy this for what it is; a human being, in all their pompous frailty, finding heaven.
