The best thing about Seducing Dr. Lewis is that, like the villagers, director Pouliot and writer Ken Scott seem to grow the story, and our affection for these characters, organically. Dec 10, 2004 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

It's great to escape to these fantasy burgs, especially if they're as quaint and colorfully peopled as Ste. Marie-La Mauderne. Dec 3, 2004 | Rating: 4/5

Heart-warming fun it is, and heck, after getting to know its quirky people, it might not be that bad moving to Ste. Marie-la- Mauderne. Oct 1, 2004 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

You'll enjoy spending a little time with these people, as the film performs a low-key but irresistible seduction of its own. Aug 20, 2004 | Rating: 3/4

Seducing Dr. Lewis has its warm moments, but it suffers from fuzzy thinking, and that's no way to seduce anyone. Aug 6, 2004 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Sails by on charm and confident character acting, even if it's navigating well-charted waters. Aug 5, 2004 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

While it begins with a whimsical, promising and slightly bawdy bit of magical realism, it turns into a familiar, conventional and sentimental underdog tale that just won't hunt. Feb 17, 2005 | Rating: 2/4

Charming Québecois film that I thank the Toronto Public Library for stocking. (Note to all non-Torontonians: our current mayor is trying to privatize our library system, or if not that, then cut out its heart. I'm not sure that I would ever discover under-marketed Canadian films without our library system, which would be a shame because they only rarely disappoint.) So, about this movie itself: a very small, remote community is trying to land a factory, but the owners won't move there without there being a doctor in town. When the mayor packs up and leaves under cover of night, a local man attempts to convince the townspeople to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and show the newly arrived Dr. Lewis - exiled there as community service for a misdemeanour - the beauty and charm of small-town life. The ending is a little tidy for me, but overall it's a pleasure to watch. A movie you won't be sorry to have seen, if you can manage to track it down - check your local library first!

Obviously a classic among 'québécois' films. And I obviously liked it because my dad plays a damn great part in it... Hehe...
