I loved this movie, and it is not getting the credit it deserves. First of all, the music in the movie is great, and I can't wait for the soundtrack! Secondly, the peopl e of New Ulm ,Minnesota are taking this way too personal. I am not from Minnesota, nor have I ever been there. But, I did not look at the people in this movie as stupid, and I liked their accent. I think that it is cute. The people are portrayed as caring, kind, compassionate people, and even if it seems like they don't do much with their lives, they do. They create a close community and are willing to take risks where their community is concerned. Any community portrayed like this should be proud and honored. I also like Rene Zellweger and Harry Conick Jr. in this movie. They are cute together. I like their chemistry, and at first Zellweger is portrayed as a shallow corporate exec, but her sensitivity shines through when she talks about her father. This movie is perfect fort oday's situation. Go see it!

Cute movie. Light hearted. Easy to watch. I didn't love Renee Zellweger in this movie. She's not funny. She has that weird lip thing she does. Sandra Bullock would have been much better in this movie. Harry Connick Jr...excellent. Gorgeous. Good cast. Good story line. I say go see it. Worth the money.

I went to an advance screening tonight - the whole audience was laughing almost non-stop during the entire movie. There was a wide variety of people in the audience - both male and female, young and old. There were several children present, and they enjoyed the movie a lot - one said that it was "awesome" and great to be able to see a grown-up movie. This is the most entertaining movie to come out of Hollywood in a long time. In this era, with the depressed economy worldwide, outrageous cost of living, and massive job loss - it's nice to sit in a theatre for a couple of hours, laughing and being able to just simply enjoy a movie. I even overheard some guys walking out who said they were expecting a "chick flick" and instead really enjoyed the movie. Renee Zellwegger and Harry Connick Jr had great chemistry. Who'd have thunk he'd make such an outdoorsy type hunk - he was very much the heartthrob in his full bead and woodsman look. The movie was well-paced. Excellent movie!

We went to see this movie as sort of a default. We've seen a few of the big movies out and we didn't have time to see the lengthy Benjamin Button which we really wanted to see. So we saw this one. My husband and I both don't really like Renee Zellweger. But I have to say she was pretty good in this movie. It was lighthearted but not stupid. We laughed even though we were sure we wouldn't! It's a cute, simple movie that we found surprisingly entertaining. Some of the supporting cast is actually VERY entertaining and probably are what make the movie better than your average light comedy.

It was funny! Thank you for a movie that didn't need nudity,sex and swearing to be enjoyable. I've been so depressed and embarrassed by what it takes to entertain people anymore. If only we could go back and say NO to unnecessary stimulation to the primal ugliness that is in us. I love when someone in Hollywood has the fortitude to say "It's okay to show something with value" Even to the line where Harry Connick remarks on teenage girls idols to not be women who sell themselves as sexual objects(did you get that fergie et al?) Because this was a clean movie I have PAID to see it eleven times just to do a small part in saying- "CAN WE PLEASE HAVE MORE?" If you havent seen it,please go.You will enjoy it and you will be sending a message moneywise.
