It is a family movie, but there are some upsetting situations and a medical crisis that involves blood.
Based on the credits, I would say these are real people from Transylvania County, and it shows. The people in general seem real and not backwoods bumpkins, especially the ones with no lines that are only seen in situations such as town meetings. Terry seems intelligent and so do some of the others.
Mickey Jones is of course a genuine hick and a lot of fun and everything you'd expect in this place, but he turns out to be much more. Young Channing Nichols is adorable, nice and intelligent. Edie McClurg stands out from the rest of the cast and has just a delightful personality, and most of the other actors do a good job too. Evan isn't a pleasant character and it seems unlikely he'll become the beloved doc, but he knows what he is doing and can handle, and has to handle, a number of crisis situations made worse by the fact no hospital seems to be nearby. This movie has one common thread with that series which I won't mention because it's a spoiler, but it does explain a lot. One could compare it to "Hart of Dixie", though the community in that TV series has a doctor already and is closer to civilization. Big-city professional gets banished to the boondocks and has to adjust to a new way of life. It's a formula we've all seen many times before.
