Romantic Comedy starring Michael J. Fox (Back to the Future; The Secret of My Success; Casualties of War; Tv's- Spin City), Julie Warner, Woody Harrelson (The People vs Larry Flynt; Natural Born Killers; Kingpin; Rampart) & Bridget Fonda (Single White Female; Scandal; Jackie Brown; Lake Placid).
Benjamin Stone (Fox), is a young doctor driving to L.A to take up a new job as a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills. Unfortunately when he gets off the highway to avoid a traffic jam he gets lost and ends up crashing into a fence in the small town of Grady.
Sentenced to 32 hrs of community service at the local hospital, all he wants is to serve the sentence and get moving, but gradually the locals become attached to the new doctor, and he falls for the pretty ambulance driver, Lou (Warner).
When his time is up and he's free to leave, will love and his new-found sense of being part of a community keep him there, or will the lure of a life in Hollywood, not to mention, a sizeable salary as a plastic surgeon be too much of a temptation....

Format:VHS Tape
Every now and then a little gem of a movie slips through quietly, unnoticed by the masses.
This is one such film. Yes it has a simple plot, but it is an excellent script and thoroughly watchable.
I totally recommend this film to anyone who enjoys romantic comedies.

As a usually emotionally constipated UK resident, film viewer, I should sneer at the marshmallow sentiments, home spun morality, and all round apple pie consistency of this Capra'esque story ....... but I love it!
Michael J Fox is just so likeable, that it is difficult not to root for him, and Julie Warner is not just a simpering local girl who is destined to end up with an essentially decent but uninspiring local guy. The early scenes remind me of Northern Exposure (buy this it's great!) and the odd ball characters all have a back story. However, essentially it is a boy meets girl, boy and girl are attracted, boy leaves girl, and then comes back. It's no Annie Hall, but hey we all need comfort films now and again!

There's a very moral story in this film. It pulls on a few heart strings and lets you see a certain side of society. Look through the money making body sculpture world of medicine and read the basic moral undertone applicable to all walks of life. On the whole, an enjoyable, believable storyline. For the price, you should buy this DVD.

Michael J Fox
For all those who were teenagers in the 80s and big MJF fans, this is a must have. A lovely story, with lots of humour.

From Southern Wood to Hollywood
Michael J Fox has always been a likeable actor and I have seen many of his films. This one is perhaps less well known than Secret Of My Success, Back To The Future (Trilogy) or... Read more

A mild comedy, enjoyable for the actors in depth, Michael J Fox is fine with Julie Warner a beautiful leading lady, and David Ogden Stiers, enjoyable and I think underrated.
