My husband and I just rented the movie, “New In Town,” starring Renee Zellweger and Harry Connick, Jr. We really enjoyed the movie. A female executive from Miami is sent to Minnesota to help re-structure a plant that her firm owns. It’s a pretty basic boy meets girl story, but the dialog and characters are quite funny and charming. We had to pause the DVD to take laughter breaks quite a few times.
Here’s a part from the script that we found hilarious. It’s a conversation between the executive secretary (Blanche) and her newly arrived boss from Miami (Lucy).
Blanche: Can I ask you a personal question? Have you found Jesus?
Lucy: Well, I didn’t know he was missing!
Blanche: [Looks aghast]
Lucy: Sorry, it was just a joke.
Blanche: Normally we don’t joke about Jesus around here. But I can see how you’d think that was sorta funny. Imagine Jesus goin’ missing.
Blanche: [Looks terrified]
Blanche: Imagine
I’m glad I don’t have to worry that Jesus will go missing.
Psalm 9:7 (New International Version)
7 The LORD reigns forever;
he has established his throne for judgment.
Matthew 28:20 (New King James Version)
20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
If you need a movie night, give this film a try. Hope you enjoy.
I hope and pray that Reece Witherspoon finds Jesus, and reflects this faith in the movies she chooses to act in.
Hi Rob, Reece Witherspoon wasn’t in this movie. I don’t know about movie stars’ faith unless they come out with a big announcement. Did I miss something? Jeanne
I liked that movie too.
