09/05/2020 Movie was interesting even with somewhat predictable story line. The way the movie ended seemed abrut. Many characters were not not fully explained. It seemed to be a movie made to be pilot for a TV series. Wish they would make a sequel or TV series to help watchers of this movie understand characters more. Very disappointed with way the movie ended ! See more 06/27/2017 Love this heart warming, family show. Just a good movie! I loved it enough, I bought it. See more 05/23/2013 Very trite and extremely predictable movie. The acting is mediocre. The actor playing the doctor is good looking. But the story is entirely predictable and with only the feeblest attempts at adding anything clever. In fact, all they really did was to add more, unneeded predictable elements. Yawn. See more 01/26/2012 cute little tv movie. lol See more 11/24/2011 I'm trying to be positive tonight so I'll say the kids did a wonderful acting job. The rest made me want to slit my throat. See more 02/11/2010 What this all boils down to is that "Country Remedy" is usual; it is a typical easy on the eye small town drama which takes some ideas which have been done many a time before and reworks them in the usual manner.
