Metacritic reviews

Very ''Waking Ned Devine.'' There's shrewd wit to Pouliot's gentle, no-bull farce.

Before approaching the end of the film the seduction of the doctor is not that important because by that time the audience has already fallen under the spell.

The story isn't as funny as it tries to be, but it grows increasingly winning as it goes along.

The film's warm, sweet sentiments are genial and unchallenging, and its jokes are low-key and gentle.

Any similarities to "Northern Exposure" are undoubtedly coincidental, but the comparison is entirely apt.

Though harmless and amusing, this Quebecois comedy set in an impoverished fishing village is a bit too festooned with provincial humor and a bit too short on memorable perfs or feel-good climaxes to break out commercially beyond French-speaking Canadian territories.

The movie is no more than a TV sitcom stretched to feature length. All that's missing is the laugh track.

The makers of Seducing Doctor Lewis have a cute idea, but they milk it for all they can, sometimes to the point of embarrassment.

One of those infuriating comedies that practically nudges you in the ribs while you're watching to remind you how cute and funny it is.

Suffice it to say that if you've always wondered how a fish out of water and a band of resourceful yokels would behave in the Quebec hinterlands, this is your movie.
