A Miami, Florida businesswoman adjusts to her new life in a small Minnesota town.
- C WegnerMay 3, 2026I like this movie so much that I watched it again the next day. If you are not familiar with Wisconsin culture and their unique Wisconsin accent, do take note of it as it is turned on in full force throughout this story. The best supporting actress in Hollywood, Blanche Gunderson, lends a standout performance as the kind, mild mannered, scrapbooking executive assistant to Lucy Hill (Renee Zellweger). The ever quirky, but confident, Lucy Hill’s (Renee Zellweger) corporate character jives really well with the down-to-earth leading man Ted Mitchell (Harry Connick Jr.).
