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

  6. I’m not sure from this page. Is this a respectful movie or is it meant to mock Christianity?

  7. Jeanne says:

    Hi Christian Church Pastor,
    Did you read the post? It was a cute movie that had a sweet woman unafraid to ask if a stranger knew Jesus. I think it is awesome when a person can be so open and ask without hesitation. But it is good that we don\\\’t have to worry that Jesus will ever go missing…Hope this clears up your confusion over the post.
