New in Town

No, this is not Citizen Kane. It's just a pleasant little romantic comedy with a business spin, in the realm of Baby Boom and Gung Ho. Renee Zellwegger does a fine job as the fish-out-of-water exec from Miami, come to do a hatchet job on a plant in a cold small town in Minnesota. Harry Connick, Jr. does very well in a non-musical role as the love interest, and as the representative of the union for a bit of conflict. A capable supporting cast keeps the smiles coming.

Predictable? Absolutely! Predictable gets a bad rap, actually. As those of us who watch movies more than once (and there are a lot of us) must expect predictable, right? After all, we have seen it before!

Corny? Without a doubt! But corny is not always bad. Think of how many corny movies you've enjoyed.

Enjoyable? Well, it was for me.
