The mayor of a small fishing village which has fallen upon hard times comes up with a radical plan to rejuvenate the community... entice a giant corporation to build their new factory in the village. But there’s just one problem – in order to qualify, they must have a doctor in residence, which they don’t have...
When unlikely candidate and big city doctor Paul Lewis (Kitsch) lands in their lap for a trial residence they believe their prayers have been answered, and hilarity ensues as the villagers rally together to charm him into staying.
We like it because:
Brendan Gleeson once again delivers a fantastic performance in a delightful comedy that is full of charm, wit and boasts stand-out performances from a stellar cast. Taylor Kitsch, more known for his science fiction blockbusters shows great comedy prowess and exactly why he is such a big name in Hollywood. Rounding off the main cast is the stunning Liane Balaban and Canadian actor Gordon Pinsent, who provide some truly laugh out loud moments.
