Product Description:
(Original French Version with English Subtitles) St. Marie-La-Mauderne is a tiny fishing village in what some may call the middle of nowhere. For eight years the locals have stood in line for weekly welfare checks, wearing patched sweaters and glum expressions, and remembering the good old days when the catch was good, the fishermen were proud, and life seemed a lot more magical. Then one day, a chance at salvation: a small company wants to build a factory on the island, but only if a full-time doctor lives in St. Marie. The situation seems hopeless until a young doctor in Montreal has an unfortunate incident with a traffic cop and finds himself on a boat to the faraway village. But how to convince handsome, young, urbane Dr. Lewis to stay in this dreary little spot on the map? As it turns out, the answer lies in just a bit of seductive subterfuge--along with a tapped phone, a hastily assembled cricket team, and something called Festival de Beef Stroganoff.

This movie has many similarities with Waking Ned Divine. Both are set in a small coastal village where the inhabitants are less than prosperous and eager to improve their situation. They all join together to fool an outsider in order to cash in. If you enjoyed the mild humor of Ned Divine then you will like this movie as well. The gentle humor is spread throughout and viewers will appreciate the new ways devised to keep the doctor happily deceived. This movie is not a madcap, zany side-splitter, but if you want an enjoyable, clever film, this is one of the better to come along.
