3/4
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. Go to 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. Go to Full Review

Seducing Dr. Lewis has its warm moments, but it suffers from fuzzy thinking, and that's no way to seduce anyone. Go to Full Review

Emily A 07/23/2023 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 See more 05/12/2021 this felt like a cross between Northern Exposure and Local Hero. In ways it was quite whimsically delightful. See more 04/23/2021 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! See more 12/15/2019 The best french canadian moviee in my opinion See more 03/03/2015 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. See more 11/20/2014 Had to watch this for French class. It had its funny moments, but overall it was just average See more Read all reviews
