New In Town

Gone are the days of When Harry Met Sally or My Big Fat Greek Wed­ding. I hon­estly can­not remem­ber the last time I saw a Roman­tic Com­edy in the­aters that I didn’t walk away feel­ing like I just wasted $10. It seems these days Roman­tic Come­dies  are just full of get­ting trashed and hook­ing up. Take for exam­ple the recent What Hap­pens in Vegas. I have been ashamed lately to even say this is my favorite cat­e­gory of movie. I am con­stantly giv­ing Vitaliy a hard time for not tak­ing me out to Roman­tic Come­dies any more like he used to when we were dat­ing. But when I stop to think about it, it’s because there aren’t any worth wast­ing our money on. Oh how I long for the day to curl up to my hunk of burnin’ love (named Vitaliy), squeeze in tight, lean my head on his shoul­der and be spoiled with laugh­ter and romance on the Big Screen. That is of course once I’m done with my bag of pop­corn and Peanut M&Ms. But there has been a drought in the land of Romance and Laughter.

Until I walked into the the­ater to see New In Town. I did have high hopes for this film because it was the first of its kind in a long while. I don’t appre­ci­ate that it takes all the way to Valentine’s sea­son to make a film like this, but I’ll take what I can get. How­ever, I had no idea what I was in store for. Luck­ily, I wasn’t the only one laugh­ing out loud oth­er­wise they might have kicked me out. I’m the type that likes to laugh louder than loud because it makes what­ever is funny even fun­nier. But the whole place was in an uproar for the entire movie. Each char­ac­ter is unique in their own way and has so much to offer to the audi­ence. Not to men­tion it is clean. There will be no shame in your game when you see this one.

I could go on but I’ll leave it there. Def­i­nitely go see this one. If you are a guy out there that totally despises Roman­tic Come­dies, I promise this is one you can live through for your girl this Valentine’s. This is per­fect for a date or a girl’s night out. I went for the girl’s night out with my mom and sister-in-law. But as soon as my Squeeze Machine gets back in town you bet­ter believe I’m going back for a sec­ond round of laughs, pop­corn, and cuddling.
