u; romcom

Cast: Renee Zellweger, Harry Connick Jr, J K Simmons
H 1/2



What's it about: Lucy Hill (Renee) is a career-oriented woman who's sent to the small town of New Ulm to spruce up a manufacturing plant. Thrown into an alien environment and people who don't wear the same clothes as her and talk in different accents, she soon finds herself absorbed in their life and culture. She soon has a change of heart about her purpose when she bumps into a single dad and widower (Harry).

What's hot: There are moments when Renee's character oozes out the right amount of warmth and likeability required. For those who enjoy clean, non offensive old-school humour and wit, there are plenty scenes that will cater to your taste.
