Media Author Review
United States
Chicago Sun-Times
"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" 
United States
Variety
"Has no real taste of its own, but, in its mildness and predictability, offers the reassurance of a fast-food" 
United States
Boston Globe
"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"
United States
Los Angeles Times
"'Doc Hollywood' draws its energy almost exclusively from cliche. The cornball rowdiness is partially redeemed by the good cast"
United States
Chicago Tribune
"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."
United Kingdom
Empire
"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" 
United States
The Washington Post
"It's too flat to be funny and too trite to be meaningful"
