Michael J Fox: 5 Awesome Performances And 5 That Sucked

3. Dr Benjamin Stone - Doc Hollywood (1991)

There€™s a theory that says that people don€™t remember Doc Hollywood as fondly as they should do because John Lasseter ripped its story off wholesale for Cars, kicking off Pixar€™s least popular franchise. But that is cruel and unusual punishment for a hugely charming film that consciously takes advantage of Fox€™s easy charisma in a fish out of water setting. On the surface, Dr Benjamin Stone should be completely unlikeable: he€™s a yuppy doctor who drives a sports car and cares more about worldly pursuits rather than simple homely pleasures. But like Robert Downey Jnr€™s performance as Tony Stark, every sin is entirely forgivable
