The best thing about Seducing Dr. Lewis is that, like the villagers, director Pouliot and writer Ken Scott seem to grow the story, and our affection for these characters, organically.

It's great to escape to these fantasy burgs, especially if they're as quaint and colorfully peopled as Ste. Marie-La Mauderne.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

Heart-warming fun it is, and heck, after getting to know its quirky people, it might not be that bad moving to Ste. Marie-la- Mauderne.
Marta Barber, Miami Herald

You'll enjoy spending a little time with these people, as the film performs a low-key but irresistible seduction of its own.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Rotten
Seducing Dr. Lewis has its warm moments, but it suffers from fuzzy thinking, and that's no way to seduce anyone.
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
