Poor Liz

2013 · 1h 30m · Comedy

IMDb 7.2

With a solid 7.2 IMDb score, this quirky fish-out-of-water comedy has enough charm and heart to make for a fun, light evening—especially if you're in the mood for something offbeat and character-driven rather than laugh-out-loud funny. Joe's fish-out-of-water journey through a bizarre village is the kind of wholesome weirdness that grows on you, so watch it tonight if you want to escape into something genuinely different.

Plot

Joe Sokoloff, a sergeant with the Canadian police, travels to the remote country to carry out his beloved grandmother's last wishes, but all his plans fail almost immediately on arriving in his historic homeland when he is robbed while traveling on the train. Ready to embrace his traveling experience, he misses his train and finds himself in a small village region. Viewed by the villagers as 'an eccentric in a white Stetson', he finds himself settling into an unfamiliar world of very strange people. Here the people really do drown newly-born puppies, eat the fish they catch in the river and even smack their children. But it only takes a few days before Joe begins to understand the villagers and, after accepting them into his heart, he falls in love with Liza, a beautiful local girl.
