Synopsis:

From IMDb: “The small harbor of Tickle Cove is in dire need of a doctor so that the town can land a contract to secure a factory which will save the town from financial ruin. Village resident Murray French (Gleeson) leads the search, and when he finds Dr. Paul Lewis (Kitsch) he employs – along with the whole town – tactics to seduce the doctor to stay permanently.”

Poster: D

Review: A lackluster generic poster that isn’t even likely to appeal to fans of the two stars depicted.

Trailer: B-

Review: It’s been almost two decades since Hugh Grant gave us The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill and Came Down a Mountain, but Taylor Kitsch, an actor that doesn’t have even remotely the box office draw of Grant, is now given a film that bares striking resemblance to that film. While that film was about a town who refused to accept that their mountain had been reclassified as a hill, this one is about a town in desperate need of industry and are willing to engage in any scheme they can to save themselves. Neither premise is exactly exciting and this trailer, for all its modestly amusing segments, doesn’t look that interesting.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
