Though ultimately a somewhat forgettable feature film, The Grand Seduction does have a lot of heart and a certain charm to it which makes for an easy, gratifying experience.

It's all very sweet. And a big stretch.

The Grand Seduction is good-looking, well-cast and funny like an old CBC comedy. Totally fine.
