A small fishing village must procure a local doctor to secure a lucrative business contract. When unlikely candidate and big city doctor Paul Lewis lands in their lap for a trial residence, the townsfolk rally together to charm him into staying.

      Kathleen: That's exactly what a girl wants to hear when a stranger knocks on her door in the middle of the night.

      Dr. Lewis: Well, I... I asked where you lived. So, I just... I just wanted to apologize.

      Kathleen: At ten o'clock?

      Dr. Lewis: What, is there some kind of curfew here for apologies?

    A lovely little movie

    Set in Newfoundland, one of the most beautiful places on earth, the views are constantly captivating. If you haven't been to Newfoundland, i'd truly recommend it. You will see sights you've never seen before.

    The story Grand Seduction is cute, the acting sweet and endearing. The laughs were plenty. I went with my wife, and I honestly haven't seen her laugh so much in years. Each joke was just a little human insight.

    In a world of movies filled with monsters and vampires, or traveling into the future to survive war and save the world....it was refreshing to see a movie like Grand Seduction about real people...just living real lives.

    I'd recommend Grand Seduction as the perfect date night film.
