Review of New in Town (2009) by Deb S — 10 Oct 2009

This is a film about woman executive and city high flyer Renee Zellweger being sent to Minnesota to restructure and downsize a local manufacturing plant. Tough as nails and with the high heels to match, Renee is not surprisingly hated by most of the townsfolk until she decides the save the food packaging plant and in doing so rediscovers values for life.

To see a character adapt to the cold after living in Florida (whilst it is hot and humid in Miami, it is freezing in Minnesota) and then also to adapt to the conservative lifestyles portrayed in this particular small Minnesota town can be quite challenging but I think she did a fine job capturing the essence of it.
