New In Town

I just watched a really cool video. You can get in Netflix.. so order up. I downloaded it on Itunes and watched it in the dentist office while Sue had a temporary cap made for her tooth.

Here is the run down with teh Netflix description:

The weather isn't the only drastic change for high-paid consultant Lucy Hill (Renée Zellweger) when she's sent from her home base in South Beach, Fla., to a small Minnesota town to improve the productivity of a local manufacturing plant. The town's residents also take some getting used to, especially the ruggedly handsome union boss (Harry Connick Jr.) who's doing his darnedest to make sure that Lucy doesn't cut any jobs.

I have heard that the Minnesota folks are not real happy about the movie and the accents. And frankly with the key ear you can tell when they are off.. which means they are probably on during those times the actors are not trying to exagerate the sound.

Its got a little romantic piece in it.. but mostly its a inter country conflict of values movie. Yes its a little outdated in its concept. In realy life the people would loose their jobs without recourse.. but its kind of fun. Renee Zellweger plays a perfect part.. upscale yuppie business to hometown CEO in the most inhabbitable climate. I could relate considering my Gunnison experience with cold. You are cold inside when you know its really comfortable. They just wear more clothes in the winter.

Its a good one.
