Story: Renee Zellweger wants to become VP of her company. But before she can do that, she must move from Miami to Minnesota and supervise the downsizing of a manufacturing plant. Turns out, it isn't as easy as she thought it would be, specially when the uptown city girl begins to fall in love with the trade union guy, Harry Connick Jr....

Movie Review: Kudos to Renee Zellweger. She manages to rise above a lack lustre script and give it some bounce with her balsy act of an upscale, ambitious, hard-headed business woman who discovers she's actually all heart. What brings about this change in her is a bunch of small town people who believe it isn't the fireplace that actually keeps people warm. Nah! for them, it's human emotions that matter the most, even if it means befriending seemingly offensive people, like Ms Zellweger, who doesn't think twice before hurting and stinging all and sundry.

Sent to cold and snowy Minnesota to hand out some pink slips, the lady in high heels however soon learns to come down to ground level. All it takes is a bit of tapioca pudding, a few family dinners with her homely assistant and some night outs with the antsy trade unionist, Harry Connick Jr who has a 13-year-old daughter with a bad hair day.

An inconsequential love story, New in Town acquires body and form only because of Ms Zellweger. Watch it as time-pass. It could make you smile on an average day.
