For a great feel good movie minus the gratuitous bathroom and bodily fluid scenes you should go see New in Town starring Renee Zellweger. The story is a hoot with characters appearing at first look to be campy. Some parts are easily figured out and others may bowl you over in their cleverness. I know I was pleasantly surprised after seeing it get a 1.5 star rating in the newspaper. You just can’t trust the media about these things – they send horror film lovers to watch romantic comedy and it shows because the average romantic comedy movie-goer would rate it much higher. I know I did. So don’t listen to the newspapers, okay? Because I would recommend spending the time and money to see this movie before it goes out of theaters!

Zellweger plays Lucy Hill, a go get ‘em gal. She lives in Miami and works for a [food] manufacturing corporation. In a business meeting, she gets roped into being the onsite official at a production plant in Minnesota that will be revamped and become nearly fully automated.

Upon her arrival she is immediately freezed out by the men and women of the town who know the drill – HQ yuppy means lost jobs. Butting heads with corporate and with the locals is not enough to handle, Lucy will have to butt heads with Ted Mitchell, the union rep for the entire southeast/southwest area of Minnesota. Sparks fly as their opinionated commentary ignite their tempers and the sexual attraction.

Witty and charming; this is a real treasure that has been buried under the muck that’s out there.

And I totally love her hair - very chic and sassy!

Rating: 4 Stars!

(Anybody else noticing they’re showing horror/scary/creepy/overly terrifying drama films all the time but the previews for the cute movies are completely nonexistent????)

Buy: New In Town
