The premise in both is a big-city, hotshot doctor goes to a small town. Michael J. Fox’s character just ends up there; in Best Medicine, he deliberately goes there (for reasons that are revealed).
Best Medicine is its own thing. And I throughly enjoyed it. Is it high-art? No. Is it a masterpiece? No. Is it light, charming, and funny? Yep. Also, the cast is a winner; and anytime I get to see Annie Potts in anything, it’s a treat.
Very much worth checking out, if you’re in the mood for light, charming, and funny. And if you’re not … then I don’t know what to tell you.
