New in Town Reviews
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
In the current economic climate, this comedy about workers whose livelihood is rescued by a benevolent boss represents the ultimate wish-fulfillment fantasy. Don't spend your hard-earned discretionary cash on it.

Richard Roeper
The offspring of "Baby Boom" meets "Doc Hollywood."
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
This is a movie that feels like a clock radio with a stuck snooze button, the clichés as ripe and as annoying as that never-ending buzzer trying to wake a person up first thing in the morning.
Us Weekly
Thelma Adams
He's a little bit country, she's a little bit rock 'n' roll and it's all totally contrived! The movie may be called New in Town, but it's an old Hollywood love story that doesn't improve with age.
Miami Herald
Connie Ogle
We could use an upbeat film with a solid Frank Capra vibe. But New in Town doesn't elicit a rah-rah spirit so much as it reawakens the cynical thought that such lazy screenwriters deserve to be out of work.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
The month of January has come to be known as a graveyard for bad movies, but how bad can it get? This one answers the question.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
It follows a particularly abhorrent Hollywood formula: Ridicule the friendly, rural folks, show how stupid they are, then by the end, place their small-town values and inherent decency on a pedestal.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
There should be a special Oscar for good actors who still give their all when they're in bad movies.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
[A] drearily cheerful little picture that isn't nearly as funny or as heartwarming -- or even as topical, given the economic climate -- as it thinks it is.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
With the recession getting worse by the day, it's asking an awful lot for audiences to laugh at a romantic comedy centering on corporate layoffs.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
A romantic comedy that's neither romantic nor funny.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
The timing couldn't have been better for a romantic comedy with a love-among-the-financial-ruins theme to come along. But if you're looking for a welcome mat for New in Town, you won't find it here.
NPR.org
Bob Mondello
Broad accents, broader slapstick and a willful shrinking from anything remotely original. ... Also much condescension, toward both the characters and the audience.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Yes, this movie offers dumb hope in wretched times, but for many, dumb hope is preferable to no hope at all.
