NEW ON HOME VIDEO This week’s DVD releases

Available Tuesday:

“New In Town” (PG, 96 minutes): There’s nothing novel about this overly familiar farce, a creaky romantic-comedy-fish-out-of-water tale about a tightly wound corporate executive (Renee Zellweger) who finds herself temporarily reassigned from sunny Miami to small-town Minnesota in the dead of winter. Throughout much of the movie, the actress’ face appears botoxed into a frozen mask of misery, which melts only after meeting truck-drivin’, beer-drinkin’, plaid-wearin’ hottie Ted (Harry Connick Jr.). But first Ted and Lucy have to act as though they hate each other. That is, until the handsome widower and dad (all together now: awww) happens to have the opportunity to rescue the career-obsessed singleton when her car gets stuck in a blizzard, making her reevaluate her big-city priorities in the face of true love and a near-death experience. The real America, my foot. As Lucy remarks at one point, this whole endeavor looks like the world’s coldest theme park. Contains a bit of crude language and suggestive material.

Also: “The Devil’s Tomb,” “Falling Down,” “Forever Strong,” “Killshot,” “Law & Order: SVU: Season 9,” “Princess of Nebraska,” “Powder Blue,” “The Ramen Girl” and “True Romance.”
