    The Grand Seduction

    Reviewed by

    A poor remake of Michael J. Fox's old "Doc Hollywood" is the best that can be said of this disaster. People who give it high marks out of misplaced nationalism are misleading you; don't be fooled. The "plot" rambles and staggers from one undeveloped, unbelievable sub-plot to the next, never connecting the various strands of the unravelling story line. The "acting" is as unconvincing as the made-in-Toronto "Newfie" accents. The only thing this flick is good for is as an example of all that is wrong with contemporary Canadian cinema; it was a great big "blah" nothing -- which is exactly what the producers of it obviously feel about Canada as a whole and Newfoundland in particular. Stay home and do the dishes instead. If you're feeling nationalistic, sing "O Canada" while drying them.

    It's too bad that you really missed the messages, didn't see the beautiful harbour with all its loveable characters and the refreshing, heartfelt and hysteria of such a different film story, far away from the typically overplayed hero, world comes to an end, sci-fi thrillers or the lack of materialism and plasticity replaced by REAL!

    It's too bad that you are willing to settle for such drivel. The "messages" were vague, confused and confusing, haphazard and inane; the "hysteria" is all in your absurd comment; and the simple fact that it's not a "sci-fi thriller" hardly qualifies it as being "REAL". The phony characters were asinine stereotypes which were as hastily concocted as the story and as "refreshing" as a stale bottle of Newfie screech. "The Grand Seduction" should be re-named "The Petty Farce".
