The remake never manages to drum up much excitement for its sleepy hamlet rousing or for its characters, finally filled with purpose.

At best, this aspires to the whimsical charm of Local Hero; at worst, it simply steals from it.

This is all about duels between rugged veterans. Cheery Gleeson and craggy Gordon Pinset steal the show.

The filmmakers hope for a fable-like charm rather than gritty credibility, but the whole thing feels as cynical as the villagers' convoluted mission.

It's a bit of a soppy, sappy film that wastes Gleeson's talent and incidentally appears to imply that bribing oil-company executives is a victimless crime.

Brendan Gleeson and Taylor Kitsch doggy-paddle awkwardly through this lacklustre fishing village comedy.

Sep 06, 2015one of those nice stories that has great characters and a great setting. it's funny that a film with two great actors failed to find a bigger audience besides the opinionated critics. They clearly missed the boat on this one. underrated and enjoyable filmBrendan N Super Reviewer

Sep 23, 2014One of the most enjoyable and heartfelt movies of the year. A touching, sweet, charming and very funny film. It's ground-breaking and comforting fun from start to finish. A beautiful movie filled with great characters, a gorgeous landscape and lots of love to go around. One of Canada's best imports in sometime. A blissful and engaging comedy that will have you laughing and loving every minute of it. The cast is brilliant. Taylor Kitsch and Brendan Gleeson are magnificent, they have wonderful chemistry together. Gordon Pinsent is a hoot. Director, Don McKellar crafts a wonderfully compelling and well-characterized movie. A great time no questions asked. I loved it.Al S Super Reviewer

| Murray French: | Sorry. I know it's after office hours. |
| Vera: | It's not so much the time that bothers me, as the fact that we're all here in bed together. It's the whole threesome thing I'm not that comfortable with. |
