New In Town [2009]

The movie opens in Snowy, bitterly cold New Ulm, MN as the ladies scrapbooking club meets at Blanche's house.  One lady (Trudy) is late, rings the doorbell and our hostess Blanche (Siobhan Fallon) yells for her husband to get the door.  He fails and as a result we get to see a father /son bonding moment during a televised football game (Blonde ponytail wigs, Viking helmets).   Blanche, Trudy and the girls reminisce about the different plant bosses they have endured and their respective fates.  (One was “accidentally” locked in a freezer over the holiday weekend.  Blanche notes that a New Company boss will be arriving and wondering what this one will be like...and telling Trudy she will never get her secret recipe for Tapioca Pudding (a running joke).

Cut to a running Lucy Hill (Renee Zellwegger) along the boardwalk in an upscale Miami development.  Lucy goes through her morning routine then drives into work arriving about 4 minutes after a meeting has begun at MUNK industries.  The discussion is for the redesign of the New Ulm plant to produce a new energy bar.  After the president ask for volunteers to go to Minnesota and everyone else (knowing the fate of the others) ducks their heads to avoid the job, Lucy volunteers for the position knowing that a ripe Vice Presidency awaits her return.

Fade to Lucy's arrival at Minneapolis Airport, where everyone in the baggage claim area is dressed for the cold outside...except Lucy.  She proceeds to gather her baggage, sets out for the Rental Car agency, looks out the door of the airport and asks herself, "doesn't look that bad"... Goes out the doors, which close just before her "HOLY .............!!!! and she runs back inside.  In her car she drives the long winter road into New Ulm arriving after dark.  Stops and meets Blanche and Trudy (her realtor) and accepts the first house she is shown. ("Nice wooden floors but lots of rugs to keep ya feet from freezin in the morning dontchaknow")  Blanche invites Lucy over to dinner.
