Summary of Seducing Dr. Lewis

The fortunes of a group of locals in a decimated former fishing village look set to take a turn for the better when a small business declares its intentions of setting up there. However, it is imperative that a doctor dwells somewhere within the village for the business to legally take root, which leads to a frantic search for someone with the necessary qualifications. Sadly, the spot is far from idyllic, and the locals struggle to find someone to fit the bill, until Dr. Lewis comes along. Using some wily tactics to ensnare Lewis in the village and allow the population to thrive once again, some highly comedic set pieces unfold in this genial comedy.

Critics Reviews

The New York Times
The film's warm, sweet sentiments are genial and unchallenging, and its jokes are low-key and gentle.
TV Guide
Any similarities to "Northern Exposure" are undoubtedly coincidental, but the comparison is entirely apt.
