Comedy In order to secure a vital factory contract, the residents of a small Newfoundland fishing village conspire to charm a big-city doctor into becoming the town’s full-time physician, in this sparkling comedy from director Don McKellar (Last Night) and screenwriter Michael Dowse (Goon, The F Word).

	Media	Author	Review
		A. O. Scott The New York Times	"This is middlebrow comedy at its blandest, upholding a viewpoint worthy of the Tea Party’s gold seal"
		Lou Lumenick New York Post	"The frequently funny 'The Grand Seduction'' is a thoroughly pleasant way to pass a couple of hours (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"
		John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"A sort of Northern Exposure by way of the Full Monty school of comic working-class scheming (...) Formulaic but pleasing"
