La Grande Seduction
According to the New York Time's A. O. Scott, "This thoroughly innocuous comedy takes place in a grizzled Quebec coastal village, in which the once-proud fishermen have seen their livelihoods disappear. To restore the town's economy, and their own manhood, a group of citizens wants to persuade a plastics company to select it as the site for a new factory. To qualify, the town needs a doctor. The villagers lure a shallow Montreal yuppie into their midst and then make themselves over to conform to his fantasies of provincial life. They forsake hockey for cricket and make sure that his fishing expeditions always yield good catches. The movie, a big hit in French Canada, offers easy laughs and warm sentiments. You may think you've seen this kind of sentimental, class-based comedy before, and you have - only with British or Irish accents instead of English subtitles."
