Reviewed - Finding Normal ★★☆☆☆

Finding Normal is essentially a re-make of Doc Hollywood with a few twists:

  • the doctor is a woman
  • the one black man in the small southern town of otherwise white people is the preacher, the judge, the doctor, and the adoptive parents of two (now grown) white children
  • the film-makers had some kind of grudge against the ACLU

Despite the clichés and some logic flaws, its redeeming quality is telling a story about someone finding out that there is more to “making a living” than making money and advancing your career – you actually should stop and think about how you want to make your life.
