Doc Hollywood, the 1991 romantic comedy starring Michael J. Fox, is set in a South Carolina town, but where was the movie really filmed?
The 1991 rom-com Doc Hollywood is set in a rural town in South Carolina, but the movie was filmed in another location. Starring Michael J. Fox, the movie tells the story of a hotshot doctor who crashes his fancy sports car in a small Southern town while on his way to interview for an important new job in Los Angeles. Besides the conventional big-city versus small-town jokes, Doc Hollywood also has a lot of heart and tells a compelling love story.

The fictional hamlet of Grady, South Carolina, has a lot of charm, and the moss-draped streets and quaint atmosphere really sell the draw of small-town living. Coming just a few years after his string of mega-hits in the 1980s, Michael J. Fox's take on Dr. Stone showed a maturing of the actor and a range that his other parts lacked.
Most Of Doc Hollywood Was Filmed In Micanopy & McIntosh, Florida Despite the movie being set in the fictional town of Grady, South Carolina, the bulk of the production of Doc Hollywood was actually filmed in the Florida cities of Micanopy and McIntosh.
Movies shot on location in Florida often take advantage of the state's unique atmosphere and flora, and Doc Hollywood's small South Carolina town could be easily emulated by north Florida cities like Micanopy and McIntosh. Though the movie never specifies what part of South Carolina the story takes place in, the look very much resembles the coastal lowland region to the east.
