Seducing Dr. Lewis makes a pleasant addition to the quirky subgenre of what might be called "village comedies"--movies in which the oddball residents of a small village must work together to perpetrate some mild scam or bit of mischief (examples abound, from Waking Ned Devine to Saving Grace to Local Hero). The isolated Canadian community of St.-Marie-La-Mauderne desperately needs a new industry, but the factory they're trying to win requires a resident doctor. When a young doctor from Montreal (David Boutin) gets blackmailed into spending a month in the village, the prickly inhabitants go overboard to woo him--they learn to cook Beef Stroganoff, form a cricket team, and tap his phone. It's all a bit preposterous, but that's part of the charm; this kind of movie thrives on being just a tiny bit over the top. The daffy doings keep one foot on the ground thanks to a combination of skilled character actors (like Raymond Bouchard, who plays the town's struggling mayor) and mysterious girls (like Lucie Laurier, the beautiful postmistress). Fans of The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain will find much to enjoy here. --Bret Fetzer

I first saw this movie at the movie theatre and determined to buy it no matter what. I did purchase it and I have watched it many times. Others have mentioned the plot so I will just say it is a great addition to my collection. You will not be disappointed.

I gave this DVD to sevedral people and both parties were totally charmed by this film. It's a Canadian film,unknown to many, and feels like a discovery when viewed. The plot concerns a small Canadian Island town which cannot offer employment to its citizens because the closed factory will not reopen unless there is a doctor resident. When they secure a temporary medico the whole town engages in subterfuge to try to convince the doctor that he should stay. The lengths they go to impress the doctor ... Read More

Let's first of all get through all of the critical superlatives such as "Charming,witty,quirky,delightful,rambunctious,a treasure,a gem and affectionate and enjoyable".There now we're done! IT'S TRUE,they all apply and then more!
This Audience Award Winner from the 2003 Sundance Festival is the most refreshing film that I have seen in a while.Cut very much in the mold of earlier British comedies such as AN ENGLISHMAN WHO WENT UP A HILL AND CAME DOWN A MOUNTAIN,SAVING GRACE,THE FULL MONTY and ... Read More

3.5 stars.
An enjoyable little romp that could be 20 minutes shorter, but is worth watching.
It does have subtitles, so you've been warned.
The Quebec fishing village scenery is pleasant, the performances are all solid, the script quite funny at times, and the moral isn't banging you over the head every few minutes.
This film does exactly what it sets out to do, and leaves you with a pleasant aftertaste. Add to that a few very funny moments, and it's worth watching some day.
