New In Town


   This was chicklit film. Why it is chicklit is because its about a career successful woman in her 30's whom is single and falls for a man that drives her crazy because his views are so different than his. My mother said this should have been a Hallmark made for TV movie. I think it should have been just a book. It may be based on one, but I didn't see the based on at the beginning so maybe it really was just an original screenplay. I think the movie was written on cliches... a small Minnesotan town which loves bad wallpaper, outdated clothes, hockey, tapioca, bad accents (which I think Americans think that Canadian's possess these accents, but in actuality these accents are American) meets a city girl from Miami who dresses to the nine. It was a sweet little movie about love, friendship and doing the right thing. I think it should have been a book just for the sole purpose of not having to hear those awful accents that those states actually possess. Though had it of been a TV movie, it definitely wouldn't have turned out nearly this good. I'm on the fence. I liked it, but not enough to recommend.
