Fans of this who can speak French or don't mind subtitles might want to watch the original by the same screenwriter but set in Quebec: La Grande Seduction (https://trakt.tv/movies/seducing-doctor-lewis-2003)
It has its flaws, no doubt, but I can't help admitting that I have a soft spot for this funny, lighthearted and quirky movie. It really is my perfect choice after a long day or on a lazy sunday afternoon.
What a lovely film, how have I missed this? Fortunately chatgpt suggested this to me :grin: It is funny and quirky but never too much. Endearing without being too sappy. Loved the two telephone ladies, and the running around at night to make it seem like there were 220 people living there. Would definitely watch it again.
This is a film about the residents of an island who are trying to improve their collective lot in life after years of neglect. While this film felt like several other films (primarily The Truman Show) it feels like something different than those movies. At no point did it either make light of the central figure nor did it spend too much time in plot setup. What really carried this film was the heart of the resident of the island and their spirit to improve their lot in life. I really enjoyed the film.

This movie is great fun. Brendan Gleeson is brilliant as always, but the two ladies bugging the doctor's phone steal the whole film.

Wow, this movie is great.
I would recommend this movie to everyone. Except people who only like movies like Transformers.
