Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

suite92 This is a remake of the French Canadian film Seducing Doctor Lewis (2003), original title La grande seduction, directed by Jean-Francoise Pouliot, filmed in New Brunswick. The current film is set in the fictional fishing village of Tickle Head on the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. The film's opening details 'the way it used to be', with hard work, enough rewards, and life with a purpose. Then the movie jumps to the present, where all the able-bodied men are on welfare from the government. The sense of purpose, at least, has been lost. Our protagonist, Murray, has been collecting welfare checks and losing self-esteem for some time. The mayor has a tentative deal with an oil sludge reclamation company, which will go forward provided the town has a resident physician. The mayor takes a job in Toronto; by arranged chance, he intercepts a physician, Paul Lewis, and blackmails him into coming to Tickle Head for a month. While Paul is on the way, Murray and company spruce up the town to give Paul a good impression. The lies do not end there, not by any means. Will their plan actually work?--------- Some of the bits are funny, such as the locals trying to learn cricket post haste. The principal actors gave good performances. The sentiment at the end was carried off fairly well. 6/10

Franklie We chose to watch this show mainly because of the location and it didn't disappoint. It was beautiful and the townsfolk were hilarious. We had several laugh-out-loud moments. And whoever decorated the bedroom (you'll know what I mean) deserves an award. So spot on.It was also refreshing to have a movie filled with believable people, rather than the clowns most comedies have these days. And the creators were kind enough to keep the language mostly clean, which was GREATLY appreciated. And they were able to be raunchy w/o being too "ew", which is clever and appreciated also. ") These attributes make the movie watchable to a wider range of people.Loved seeing Gordon Pinsent.We wish one selfish dipwad had been given a bit of a comeuppance. That would have been satisfying. Otherwise, good result.We felt like we were watching a mix of Waking Ned Divine and Northern Exposure. Very fun.

Enjolras72 A bad rip-off of Jean-François Pouliot's "La Grande Séduction" ("Seducing Doctor Lewis" in English) that's as fun to watch as watching paint dry! The script is almost word-for-word (English for French)the same as the Québécois film about trying to convince a doctor to work in their small fishing village in order for it to have a factory where the townspeople would all have jobs. The difference is that the people are supposed to be from Tickle Cove, Newfoundland & Labrador, instead of Ste-Marie-La-Mauderne, Québec and they have less than one third the charm as the people in the original film. Well, this piece of garbage is an insult to Québec!!! Watch the 2003 original and not this crap! C'est vraiment de la crotte!!!

quitwhileyouareahead I got this movie solely because it had Taylor Kitsch in it. And if not for that anticipation, I would have turned this one off after a half hour. In that half hour, it was slow and predictable and was only watchable for it's beautiful scenery. Once Taylor arrived, it became very entertaining, while still predictable. The pace picked up a touch and all the actors suddenly became more entertaining. I suppose the director was trying to "set the scene" in the beginning and some more artistic viewers may appreciate that but I just found it boring. But the rest of the movie was funny, touching and satisfying so stay patient especially if you like Taylor.
