Seducing Doctor Lewis (2003)

La Grande Séduction A struggling fishing village can land a factory only if it has a full-time doctor, so when a Montreal physician is pressured into spending a month there, the whole town sets out to convince him he has found paradise. This is the warmest crowd-pleaser on the list, and its deadpan small-town humor travels well. It was a huge hit in Quebec and won an audience award at Sundance. The schemes get more elaborate and more ridiculous as the month runs out, and the cast plays every one of them with a straight face.
