"Seducing Dr. Lewis" (2002) is a French Canadian film that I enjoyed, and that is likely to please the spectator that simply wants to be entertained. From my point of view, this is a funny albeit somewhat predictable film, that will make you laugh but that won't surprise you.
The story takes place in a remote and very small village, St. Marie-La-Mauderne, where people cannot find work and must ask for welfare checks. That makes them extremely sad, almost gloomy, because for them a job means dignity, and that is something they don't think they have.
Thanksfully, hope appears for the citizens of St. Marie-La-Mauderne in the form of a project to build a factory. Unfortunately, there is a condition they will need to fulfill, as the factory will only be built if they can find a doctor that wants to live in their town.
Of course, when chance brings Dr. Lewis to their little town for a short séjour, the citizens of St. Marie-La-Mauderne are extremely happy, and prepared to do everything to make him realize that their town is an ideal place to live. How far will they go? Well, just rent this dvd and watch. It won't be boring :)
