New In Town is a brand new romantic comedy film, directed by Jonas Elmer, and starring Renée Zellweger and Harry Connick Jr. Zellweger plays Lucy Hill, a high achiever in a company who is shooting to become a Vice President. To show the company’s President that she has the ability, she takes an assignment to restructure one of their small manufacturing plants in Minnesota. From the high life in Miami to the bitter cold, snow, and icy roads of Minnesota, Lucy must endure these hardships to succeed.
When she arrives, she is treated as an outsider, and the locals think she’ll last only a week before leacving. Lucy is a fighter however, and wants to win. She meets Ted Mitchell (Harry Connick, Jr.) who is the union representative. At first, she has some conflicts with the workers, but soon they begin to accept her. The new product line is a bust, and she is ordered to close the plant and fire everyone. However, she has a better idea of making money for the company and saving all the jobs.
Along the way, she finds something she didn’t know she was looking for – LOVE.
It’s an okay movie. I give it a 3 out of 5.
