Rating: PG-13
Movie Release Date: January 30, 2009
DVD Release Date: May 26, 2009
Plot 411: A food producing exec trying to claw her way to the top gets relocated to rural Minnesota and finds herself in a whole new world.
Review: This rom com, surprisingly, had a lot of heart to it. I really enjoyed Harry Connick Jr. in his role as Ted, the union rep. I think it suited him a lot better than his character in P.S. I Love You. He seemed more manly and in his element out in the snow. Renee Zellweger was also quite endearing in her role as Lucy, the exec from Miami. I don't usually like her as a leading lady, but she did fine in this movie. I think what carried them through was the main idea behind the plot. The sensitive topic of factory jobs and people's livelihoods is rarely covered in Hollywood, where people make millions a day just by breathing. The story is the real hero and it was good to see the townspeople portrayed in a positive manner. Lucy is sent from sunny Miami to the frozen tundras of Minnesota to downsize and revitalize a failing factory. It's a big change from what she's used to, but she's determined to make a good impression and become a VP. However, while in Minnesota, she rediscovers her humble roots and falls in love.

Watch It: If a your heart stops for Connick's deep voice as you won't catch a glimpse of his figure out in the freezing cold.
Skip It: If you can't stand to watch Zellweger squint through another movie.
