I recently saw the movie "New In Town" starring Renee Zellweger and Harry Connick Jr. on DVD. As far as romantic comedies go, it was very average- a few funny moments, very predictable plot, etc. and doesn't have much for me to reccommend. However, I strongly encorage you to rent or buy the DVD just to catch the Special Features section on the making of the movie. For anyone who thinks of the movie business as nothing but a glamorous cushy gig, this featurette will put those notions to rest.
The movie, a fish out of water tale about a big city Florida girl being forced to relocate to a small town in Minnesota, was shot in Winnipeg Canada. The stars are well-known, and some well-respected character actors are also in the cast. The featurette talks about- and shows - what they went through, literally shooting some scenes in temperatures of 50 below zero! To have that kind of dedication in shooting what can best be described as a light piece of fluff is to show what kind of a work ethic most actors have for their craft. No matter what you think of the movie itself, this Special Feature makes it worth at least the rental investment!
