Seducing Doctor Lewis (2003)

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

best movie i've ever seen.

Absolutely the worst movie.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

whether or not you enjoyed the mild humor of Ned divine then you will like this movie also.The tame humor is disseminate all-round and spectators will be grateful for the modern ways formulated to keep the doctor happily deceived. They all join together to fool an outsider in order to money in. Both are set in a little coastal village where the inhabitants are fewer than prosperous and eager to advance their circumstance. This movie is not a madcap, zany side-splitter, but whether or not you want an gratifying, clever film, this is one of the better to come along. This movie has a heap of matchings with waking Ned divine.

When the fishes finished in the small fishing village of St. Marie-La-Mauderne eight years ago, the pride and joy of the place ended. The unemployed fishermen have been financially supported by the government welfare checks for two weeks and have been living with shame for the month. When a company raises the possibility of building a small factory in the village, the dwellers need only a full-time doctor living in the community to make the dream come true. But they do not find any doctor that want to move to St. Marie-La-Mauderne. When the thirty-three years old Montreal's doctor Christopher Lewis (David Boutin) has an incident in a highway, the former Mayor of St. Marie and presently highway patrolman forces him to stay in the village for a month. Meanwhile, the locals under the leadership of Germain Lesage (Raymond Bouchard) bug his telephone and plot a scheme to convince him to sign a five years contract with the village."La Grande Séduction" was a great surprise for me: I saw this DVD on sale and after checking IMDb User Rating of 7.4/10 (1,208 votes), I decided to buy it. I found an extremely delightful dramatic comedy, funny most of the time, but with a profound message about a contemporary worldwide problem: the unemployment. If you reader, wants to see a refreshing and awarded comedy, winner of fourteen awards and with eleven nominations, try "La Grande Séduction", and you may have also a good surprise and love it. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "A Grande Sedução" ("The Great Seduction")

Being out of Canada for 13 years, it was quite refreshing to hear the country folk, accent and all. I am originally from Montreal, born there. My partner brought me this delightful film...it was so entertaining, very charming. It talked about human nature. It showed how sometimes lies have a purpose in life, to help the people who do them and are well-meaning. The recipient can benefit.I felt transported into the little town. The fishing episode was hilarious, among other parts. The movie plot was great, acting superb, landscape amazing. The lives of folk on Ste-Marie-De-la-Mauderne are simple but more rich than that of city dwellers, always rushing along with no substance at times or always in competition for material riches in life.

As un maudit anglais (apologies for any attrocious spelling to my Québecois brethren), I recommend this film highly. I had the pleasure of meeting the director, Jean-François Pouliot, on a shuttle bus from Salt Lake City to Park City, Utah during the 2004 Sundance Festival and what I find truly remarkable about him is just how down-to-earth he was as if he hadn't done anything particularly remarkable. This even though the film had already opened in Toronto (and elsewhere) to warm reviews. The film's been well received wherever it's been shown though, like many Québecois films, will be most treasured by the people who best understand the linguistic subtleties that don't necessarily translate to English. I haven't had a chance to check out any of his previous works but will be eagerly waiting for his next directorial outing.
