Watch this if you liked: “Sweet Home Alabama”, “Working Girl"
Just when you think that Renee Zelwegger has moved on to bigger things in life, like award-worthy films and meatier roles, she stuns us all by returning to what she did best once upon a time - chick flick rom-coms that nobody takes her (or everybody else in that movie for that matter) seriously for.
There's nothing much to say about the plot. City girl goes to the country in an ambitious attempt to restructure her company's business and get the position she had always dreamed of. City girl finds no solace in the cold Minnesotan weather and all the heavily-accented New Ulm residents, so she starts an argument with a bearded beer-loving hunky union leader. And when we say 'hunky', that's the lingo for 'love interest', because you cannot be a love interest if you're ugly. Later on, the cold chick from hot Miami falls in love with the warmth of the cold New Ulm people (ha, clever!), after a climax and then city girl saves the day. Kisses and claps all around, and there you are - a chick flick at its cheesiest best.
Zelwegger shows off her trademark sweet girl persona, as in any of her 'lighter' movies. As pretty and as talented as she is, this is something more of Reese Witherspoon's forte rather than hers. Harry Connick Jr. as factory union man Ted Mitchell is like any other leading man in romantic comedies. They're not really that important in any way except to be hunky and charming always, and ever ready to rescue the damsel in distress. Seriously, you can even put Adam Sandler in his place, give him good lines and girls will still swoon. The only person interesting enough to make you laugh would be J.K. Simmon as foreman Stu.
In short, this is a movie you would want to watch only once. Watching it for the second time will only leave you cold and bored. Watch it just because it's a Valentine's movie and your girlfriend won't let you watch anything else anyway.Cinema Online, 30 January 2009 |
