There ain't really no need for a ton of special effects when some good old-fashioned people, stories and sunshine will make do.

Well-meaning, predictable family drama has mature themes.

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 !

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.

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.

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.
