Y'all watch out for the lightning bugs after dark." But a cool breeze this evening will make it all worthwhile. With Doc Hollywood, which already is exaggerated, he overplays its hand.Ĭonsider the dial-a-weather report from Grady, S.C.: "It will be hot this afternoon, with temperatures in the '90s. He's operating from movie memories, and movies rarely have been kind to Southerners. It simply oozes charm as he gradually re-evaluates his goals, chucking Reagan-era greed for a more benevolent path through life.ĭirector Michael Caton-Jones (Scandal, Memphis Belle), a Scot, could possibly have made Local Hero, the charming fantasy about a Texan sent to buy land for a refinery in a remote Scottish village which becomes his ideal of heaven.īut Caton-Jones' North Sea sensibilities seem askew for Doc Hollywood. But he's burdened with a script that has no edge. It's a role he knows well and can perform with ease. "Nice pig you got there, Doc," is an oft-repeated compliment.įox's character has been accurately described as Alex Keaton with a stethoscope. Instead of a cute pet beagle a la Regarding Henry, Doc Hollywood has a pet porker. This is meant to be precious, and precious it is. There are all those quaint small-town ailments to attend to: a spider bite, a fish hook caught in an angler's thumb, a woman who can't see (dirty glasses), a cut toe and an illiterate couple who want Doc Stone to read their cousin's letter to see how he's making out with his Pakistani girlfriend.
Long hours at the clinic make that practically impossible. Lou is the love interest, a single mother who suggests Stone's sole goal during his service stint is to "separate me from my panties."
#DOC HOLLYWOOD DRIVER#
(Barnard Hughes), the jealous insurance agent (Woody Harrelson) referred to as "a rebel without a clause," and an ambulance driver named Lou (Julie Warner). There's the glad-handing, back-slapping mayor (David Ogden Stiers), his flirtatious daughter (Bridget Fonda) who desperately wants to escape town, the cantankerous elderly resident M.D. Screenwriters Peter Seaman, Jeffrey Price and Daniel Pyne attempt to impart some quirky Capra-like qualities to their characters, but the homegrown attributes hang thicker than moss from Grady's trees. Yep, it's yet another one of those comedies where Southerners have IQs smaller than their shoe sizes. Stone is sentenced to 32 hours of community service at Grady Memorial Hospital his Porsche is sentenced to service by mechanics who don't even own a set of metric tools. Metaphorically speaking, he has stepped through the looking glass and into Wonderland. Lost on a back road, Stone swerves to miss two milkmaids and crashes his red '56 Porsche Speedster through a thicket and into the justice of the peace's white picket fence.
