"I was expecting Doc Hollywood to be a comedy. And it is a comedy. But it surprised me by also being a love story, and a pretty good one" | ||||
"Has no real taste of its own, but, in its mildness and predictability, offers the reassurance of a fast-food" | ||||
"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." | ||||
"While this combination of Michael J. Fox, light comedy and uncomplicated values mustÂ’ve looked fine on paper, on screen it doesn't quite make the grade" | ||||
"It's too flat to be funny and too trite to be meaningful" |
