New in Town - starring Renée Zellweger and Harry Connick Jr is a stereotypical small town minnesota movie about a out of town manager who comes in to "fix" a blue collar small town plant and in turn somehow finds her heart.
The minnesotan accents were funny but at times a little too overdone. And some of the "factual things" like New Ulm and Rochester being a close 1-hour drive seems a bit far fetched. I tend to love Harry Connick Jr. Ever since Hope Floats, he can be a leading man and I'll typically buy it. This time though I didn't really get his whole story and it was a bit too quick of a meeting and falling in love that just didn't really work for me.
But then again, I'm not entirely sure I know anything about love anyhow.
However I did laugh in parts and it was light hearted enough that I'll give it two stars. Kind of reminded me of those romance movies that the Hallmark channel sometimes airs.
