“what can be funnier than honest, embarrassing mishaps in front of the person you’re trying to impress most?”

Lucy Hill [Renée Zellweger] is an ambitious Miami business woman whose life is turned upside down when she is sent to Minnesota for nine months to streamline a production plant. She leaves her lawyer boyfriend Seth [Nathan Fillion ?] behind pretending she’s not interested in marriage and heads off to Minnesota totally unprepared for the change in lifestyle. In Miami Lucy had a high class wardrobe and nice apartment but her new home in Minnesota is a stark contrast and she finds herself feeling lost and miserable and clearly ill equipped to cope with the cold and icy conditions.

Things at her new job don’t go well and the workers rebel against the changes she tries to make afraid that she will make cuts to the number of workers at the plant. They manage to trick her on several occasions and she ends up being made fun of. To make things worse she gets off on the wrong foot with Ted [Harry Connick Jr] the union rep who is determined to make sure no jobs are cut.

Slowly Lucy manages to develop friendships, including Ted and his 13 year old daughter Bobbie and through an unfortunate but funny accident eventually the workers warm to her as well.

Just when things are starting to improve Lucy’s office in Miami tell her the plant has to close but Lucy decides to get creative and work with the town to come up with a plan to turn the situation around.

Chilled in Miami is a solid romantic comedy with many funny moments throughout, reminiscent of “Bridget Jones”.
