Renee Zellweger's 'New in Town' Is Accessible for Family
January 22, 2009 09:01:42"New in Town" will be available to be seen by the entire family. On Tuesday, January 20, Lionsgate and Gold Circle Films announced that the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) has toned down the rating of the romantic comedy from Danish film director Jonas Elmer from PG-13 to PG.
The new rating was given by the MPAA after the Lionsgate and Gold Circle Films mutually agreed to cut out the scenes with profanity. In a statement from both studios, the decision to delete strong language was taken to make the film "accessible and acceptable to the entire family", especially since it "has received strong early word-of-mouth from family-friendly audiences".

I seen the movie last night. I can't wait to have it in my dvd collection! It's one of those movies you don't want to end. Cast was brilliant and music was fabulous.

It was pretty good. Easy story line to follow and figure out where it was going. Living out in MN for 5 years, I feel they really did a good job of portraying Minnesotans "quirks" ... if you will. Very cute, but wouldn't go see it again as some of the others I have seen over and over.

I really liked this movie. I am also a Renee Zellweger fan. It's so nice in these rough times to come out of a show feeling good.

I am from Minnesota and I loved this movie. Lots of laughs in the movie because we loved the gags making fun of us up here and we were even corny enough to cl.ap at the end. Blanche was great. Light hearted comedy. See it and have fun.

This movie was really cute! We in the cold part of the midwest can relate to the quirky idiosyncracies of small town, cabin fevered folks! Loved it, and recommend it for a lighthearted laugh!

Excellent Movie. Renee is hillariously funny it was not your typical love story fall in love hop in bed. What a nice surprise for this day & time movie

This was absolutely painful in the extreme. I can see that some of the comedy could be perceived as cute by some but I can't see how this lame script was even considered. Give me the 'Golden Girls' any day for a laugh a minute script. Very poor!!

I thought it was a little cheesy but it was cute. I liked it! It makes me realize how much we judge people without first giving them a chance.

On my....how could this movie have been made. The script, the acting and general summary of this movie could be considered moronic. Apologies to those who liked it but this was painful and I want that 1.5 hours of my life back!
