If you are looking for a cute romantic comedy in a drama-heavy season, then this movie is for you! We got to check out the premiere at the Mall of America and meet Harry Connick Jr as well as Siobhan Fallon, but it didn't sway our opinion of the movie much. It was very cute, and had a lot of Minnesota jokes which, as a transplant to this cold state, I thoroughly enjoyed. It was touching at times, funny at others, and overall, a great movie in which to escape. Renee Zellweger was good, but not great. Harry Connick Jr's character seemed one-dimensional at first, but then the layers unfolded and his acting talent began to show. Don't expect to compare this movie to the Oscar-nominated ones in the theatres right now and you will enjoy this movie very much. And enjoy the Minnesota jokes, because it really IS as cold as they make it seem in the movie!!
