Empire Magazine Rated: 2/5 May 6, 2006 Full Review Terry Lawson Detroit Free Press 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. Rated: 3/4 Dec 10, 2004 Full Review Moira MacDonald Seattle Times You'll enjoy spending a little time with these people, as the film performs a low-key but irresistible seduction of its own.

Emily A I'm Lucy Bujorne from Alberta, Canada. I do hereby use this letter as a medium to reach out to my fellow brothers and sister's, I plead with you all to stay vigilant while you are with your computer, i was scammed of my retirement funds but with the help of Alien Wizbot we have been able to recover some amount while waiting for the balance. ALIEN WIZBOT CRYPTO RECOVERY REMAINS THE BEST. alienwizbot.wixsite.com/alien-wizbot Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/23/23 Full Review Audience Member this felt like a cross between Northern Exposure and Local Hero. In ways it was quite whimsically delightful. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm a french - Canadian person and I got to say that every one ,in my province, that never watched it disappoints me. It just funny and the village is really charming because they just act like people who just wants good things for everyone. Moreover, this movie has a really good morale. For instance, the village are all unemployed and it is humiliating for them to receive their check of "béese" at every month so they just want a factory because being unemployed is like a shame, here. I would say also that it makes you realize that life is really good even if you are far from cities and that people living on this island are people that have the same good and welcoming heart as someone who never or barely went in a city. Good, funny and touching film! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member The best french canadian moviee in my opinion Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review william k Mildly entertaining feelgood comedy is nicely made with a colorful cast of characters, but emanates the impression one has seen this all once before. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The story makes sense as long as we believe how people can be suckers sometimes. Rather plaisant play. The game reach absurd levels enough to tickled the sides a few times. Sympathetic ensemble in a beautiful environment. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
