My girlfriend and I were talking about how much we loved MJF as Alex P. Keaton. 2 hours later he was no longer Alex P. Keaton. As a Canadian I can say the 2 most loved Canadians in our History are Michael J. Fox & John Candy.

To this day, a whole month can't go by without one of us quoting a line from this movie, whether it's relevant to anything going on or not.

Thanks for reacting to this! It's one of my favorite rom-coms, and just has this little bit of added depth and soulfulness. I also interviewed David Ogden Stiers for a few hours back in 2004 or so, and he talked about how meaningful it was to play the mayor. (His talk with Ben about what really matters in life is one of the most beautiful moments for me in any movie, ever.) I love this and rewatch it every few years -- it was also filmed not far from my hometown in Florida, so it definitely reminds me of home.

The lake is an actual location on the grounds of Camp Shands FL, Boy Scout camp. When I went there as an Eagle Scout shortly after the movie release , the facade of the cabin was still standing, almost as if they just finished filming.The interior cabin scenes were shot elsewhere, as was the rest of the movie. But any scene featuring the exterior of the cabin, or the lake,was shot on Camp Shands. Michael J Fox had left an autographed picture the camp had framed, where he signed it & added “go for the eagle”, as I recall - referring of course to Eagle Scout, the highest rank. That was really neat to see. Great movie! So happy you reviewed this! Several people have posted on youtube their self guided tours of filming locations. A good watch, for those who are interested.

Plus, there is so many lovable characters in that town, and they all really appreciated Doc Stone. Anyway, this movie is sort of the opposite o The Secret of My Success.

I want to say a "forgotten gem", but it's always on the streamers, and before the streamers, it was always on cable, so I reckon it's not forgotten. If there's a genre of fish-out-of-water stories, this movie is a pretty perfect example. Humor and heart, and cynics not invited. It's a bit sad, though: I think this was just before Fox's illness got too noticeable to not notice.
