Storyline Heading
Lucy Hill is an ambitious, up and coming executive living in Miami. She loves her shoes, she loves her cars and she loves climbing the corporate ladder. When she is offered a temporary assignment - in the middle of nowhere - to restructure a manufacturing plant, she jumps at the opportunity, knowing that a big promotion is close at hand. What begins as a straight forward job assignment becomes a life changing experience as Lucy discovers greater meaning in her life and most unexpectedly, the man of her dreams.

Critic's Review Heading

Berardinelli, Internet Critic Full Review
Below Average The movie has little to recommend it and more than a few things to encourage those who pursue quality cinema to stay away.

Roger Ebert Full Review
Average The real question is, do you like this sort of rom-com? It's a fair example of its type, not good, but competent.

USA Today Full Review
Poor To say that New in Town is the worst movie of this fledgling year is to damn it with faint praise. It may be one of the worst movies of any year. Not content to be merely inane and predictable, it is downright insulting, humorlessly deriding those who choose to live in rural America, labor in factories or have a strong Christian faith.

Newsday Full Review
Average ...one would think there'd be something new here. No. Director Jonas Elmer is content to recycle the basic tropes and allow Zellweger and co-star Harry Connick Jr. to charm the movie into life. It almost works.
