A man is forced to completely change his habits when he decides to move from the country to the city.
The Country Boy is a modest 1984 comedy built on a well-worn fish-out-of-water premise with a rural protagonist adjusting to urban life. The plot follows predictable beats without significant subversion, and the cinematography is functional rather than distinctive. Acting earns a slight edge as comedic performances in this genre often carry the material, but overall this is a formulaic, forgettable entry in the culture-clash comedy subgenre with little to distinguish it from contemporaries.
