The Grand Seduction

Brendan Gleeson leads this breezy, Canadian small-town comedy as the mayor of a fishing village in desperate need of jobs. The locals have a shot at securing a lucrative business contract, but to do so, they must sweet-talk/blatantly lie to an American doctor (Taylor Kitsch) into staying permanently during his one-month visit.

Remake of the 2003 French-Canadian film Seducing Doctor Lewis from screenwriter Ken Scott (Starbuck), who co-writes this English-language version with filmmaker Michael Dowse (director of Goon).
