Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4212238, member: 1414"] [B]The Grand Seduction. 2013[/B]. Prime. Stumbled on this. Brendan Gleeson stars, with Taylor Kitsch and some people I've never heard of. Gordon Pinsent is terrific as Simon. Set in a small island in Newfoundland, with predictably pretty scenery. Small fishing village is on hard times, fishing regulations won't let them fish Cod, and they're all effectively on welfare. They want to lure a small "factory" to the area so they'd have jobs, but there is a catch. They have to have a Doctor in the town. Through a little manipulation they land a young Doctor for a month, and have to use that month to convince him to stay in their tiny harbor. The Grand Seduction. The steps they need to take drive the humor. This has some genuinely funny moments and is a sweet, enjoyable story. [/QUOTE]
