"Doc Hollywood" is a 1991 romantic comedy film directed by Michael Caton-Jones. The movie stars Michael J. Fox as Ben Stone, a young doctor who is on his way to Beverly Hills for a job interview when his car breaks down in a small South Carolina town. While he waits for his car to be fixed, he gets roped into serving as the town's temporary doctor.

As Stone spends more time in the town, he begins to fall in love with the people and the way of life there. He also becomes attracted to a local woman named Lou, played by Julie Warner. However, Stone is conflicted because he still wants to pursue his career in Beverly Hills.

The film explores themes of love, career aspirations, and the value of small-town life. It received mixed reviews upon its release but has since become a cult classic. The movie is remembered for its charming performances, witty dialogue, and picturesque small-town setting. It is often cited as one of Michael J. Fox's best roles outside of the "Back to the Future" franchise.

The super-smart but tragically nerdy kids go to Harvard; the wise-ass geniuses go to Yale. Natalie Portman went to Yale. Therefore, no one should feel at all surprised that Portman can follow a brilliant and breathtaking performance in Black Swan with a charming and lighthearted romp through No Strings Attached. The bitter and brutal ballet movie showed critics and audiences just how smart, sensitive, and psychotic Portman can become when a role demands manic intensity. One critic commented, "She always has been good, but now we know the woman actually can act—except she is so good we forget she is acting." No Strings Attached proves Portman's range, and it satisfies her concern that Hollywood produces far too few "vulgar" comedies for women by women and starring women."No Strings Attached gained director Ivan Reitman's attention when it qualified for the 2009 "Hollywood Blacklist," a studio executive's annual collection of the best scripts that have failed to make the cut at every major studio. The writers pitched No Strings Attached in a single sentence: "A guy and a girl struggle to have an exclusively sexual relationship as they both come to realize they want much more." Although the plot seems painfully thin, irony, sentiment, and humor alloy the script. Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher punctuate and pixelate the post-modern era's answer to Doris Day and Rock Hudson, delivering a sweetly satisfying Valentine's Day confection. Apparently, at Yale, students learn never to take themselves or their obvious brilliance too seriously.
