Delightful, Charming, and Funny.

**Warning: Possible spoilers** Tickle Cove is a down on its luck fishing village (I mean harbour) where the populous is forced to live month to month on government welfare checks. After the mayor sneaks away in the middle of the night to find work, self appointed new mayor Murray French (Brendan Gleeson) is determined to do everything he can to bring a new petrochemical recycling plant to town, but there is one hitch; the village must have a doctor before the plant can be built. When a doctor is sent to Tickle Cove to serve out a month of community service Murray and the entire village will go to ludicrous lengths to make sure their new doctor stays.

This is a gloriously charming film. It is one of the most enjoyable films I have seen in a long time with outstanding performances by everyone involved. It is hard not to become attached to these characters and remain invested in them throughout the entire movie.

"The Grand Seduction" gets my whole hearted approval. I would definitely recommend this movie.
