New in Town - Movie Review and Synopsis

Lucy Hill (Renee Zellweger) is a high achiever shooting to become a Vice President. To show the President that she has the ability, she takes an assignment to restructure one of their small manufacturing plants in Minnesota. From the high life in Miami to the bitter cold, snow, and icy roads, Lucy must endure these hardships to succeed. Lucy is treated as an outsider when she arrives, and the locals give her a week before she leaves. Lucy is a fighter and wants to win. She meets Ted Mitchell (Harry Connick, Jr.) who is the union representative. At first, she has some conflicts with the workers, but soon they begin to accept her. The new product line is a bust, and she is ordered to close the plant and fire everyone. However, she has a better idea of making money for the company and saving everybody’s job. Along the way, she finds something she didn’t know she was looking for – “Love”.

One of the first Neo-Great Depression projects coming out of Hollywood, Chilled is operating on absolutely zero buzz as we’re being swept into awards season. It could be the beginning of another disappointing year for the Zell; the type of bummer that even a Fillion/Connick Jr. sandwich couldn’t remedy.

Rated PG-13 for brief strong language.
