(1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 14% Rotten Page   1   "Mostly because of a lead character as unbelievable as Renee Zellweger's ambitious Lucy Hill, it's not easy to warm up to this romantic comedy."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker D "New in Town is nothing short of a character assassination attempt on Minnesota, and even worse, it's a ghastly romantic comedy that requires heavy sedation to endure."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf B- ""New In Town" is an uncomplicated fish-out-of-water romance with just enough modern-day social commentary to give it some substance."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 2/4 "The culprits are the stereotypical screenplay and the hacksaw editing. It's pretty clear that a whole lot of material is currently gathering dust on the cutting-room floor."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman F "The kind of movie someone would make if they put off their weekend movie-making homework until Sunday night."   Film.com   Eric D. Snider C- "Frozen Capracorn [that] will leave you cold...Minnesotans might legitimately want to sue for defamation."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1/5 "An unappealing comedy with a derisive and dismissive depiction of Midwesterners."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 1.5/4 "The movie has little to recommend it and more than a few things to encourage those who pursue quality cinema to stay away."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli C- "Zellweger tries to play the fish out of water, but New in Town's script leaves everyone gasping for air."   E! Online   James Rocchi "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 2/4 "Strained, lighter-than-air romantic comedy about a corporate executive who falls for the smalltown, snowbound locals she's sent to layoff. Like its heroine, it never warms up."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 1/5 "Movie titles don't get any more generic and the same holds for the plot of New in Town."   Boxoffice Magazine   John P. McCarthy "As generic as its title while also yawningly idiotic in its own unique way..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 0/4 "The sight of the Gold Circle Films logo at the top of a romantic comedy released at the beginning of the year is a most dire signifier of impending cinematic doom."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina B "There may be nothing new here, but like one character's favorite recipe, sometimes bland can still be tasty."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow 0/4 "Like the odious stepchild of Fargo, New in Town gleefully offers up citizens of rural, snowbound New Ulm, Minnesota as a collection of funny-speaking, Jesus-loving, tapioca-making misfits deserving of nothing less than outright mockery."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 1.5/5 "a stale, old, and bankrupt premise"   Filmcritic.com   Paul Brenner 1/5 "It is a romantic comedy so condescending, so stupid and so utterly devoid of laughs, charm or recognizable entertainment value that I kept waiting for Kate Hudson to show up at some point to take over the lead role"   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 8/10 "The warmth of love thaws even the coldest of corporate hearts in this easy-to-take Zellweger vehicle."   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson 3/10 "Predictably formulaic romantic comedy that's as bleak as the Minnesota-in-winter landscape"   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 14% Rotten Page   1
