Just finished watching the movie here. While it is fiction and meant to be romantic comedy, I would say some research and due diligence would have made the movie better. For instance, there is a scene where downtown, a sign says the most German town in U.S.A. or close to it… but the stereotypical Norse accents are used predominately. Funny, but people notice little things. Oh, the other item, was the union representative was covering SE Minnesota, when the film was set in northern Minnesota. The same union representative said he moved to New Ulm to be close to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, again not in Northern MN.

Otherwise, its probably just as well to not model the town of New Ulm to closely without filming there. But that would have been super neat too.

YA! New Ulm, now i’m pissed that it’s not even filmed there. I was born there and moved away but still consider it home. Still have family an everything there. Happend to be watching some previews when i saw this movie, about jumped out of my seat when I saw the New Ulm sign, but quickly thought I’ve never seen that sign either. So not filmed in New Ulm, doesn’t use Schells in any way. I’m not watching now, just not interested. But none the less….. whats up New Ulm miss ya even if i don’t know ya

Seriously….I was brought up in New Ulm and now live in another state. Went to the movie the 2nd day it was out and it was cute and to me it didn’t make any fun of New Ulm. Now grant it they didn’t film any of it there which is a bummer, but it did put New Ulm on the map.

And as far as the New Ulm people and the way they talk?? Move away and then come back…the people in the movie did a great job on their accents. They also showed that New Ulm does have great down to earth people. So be Proud!!!

I think it’s funny some people are getting so offended. My step-dad was born and raised in New Ulm and still has family there.

My mom, sister and I were busting up laughing during the trailer.

It’s a “comedy”… get over yourselves!

Just saw “NIT” at theater in New Ulm. My final take on it: Light-weight, predictable, easy-going— fun. Saw absolutely nothing to get upset about. What’s all the fuss?

to all new ulmites: I live in the lakes country in mn. and had the pleasure of visiting new ulm a couple of years ago. the Shell tour was great. the historical society was fantastic, and what amazed my wife and myself was how neat and clean your town was. I have never been in a nicer town. you have every right to be proud of your beautiful community

Except for the fact that FARGO had a good story, I was pretty insulted by the offbeat Minnesota “accent” that the characters used…especially the pregnant sheriff. This movie sounds like they did the same. We really don’t sound like that. Maybe when the Scandinavians were learning English back in the early 1900s, they did. And, if they are going to film a movie in Canada, then give them a Canadian town to use…or at least International Falls, MN if they want COLD.

Well, I have to agree with mnkathy. I moved to MN from TX and will eventually move back. Minnesotans never hear their accents. And the stereotypes are so true. I’ve been here for 20 years and can still hear and see it. You guys need to just relax and enjoy being different. Besides, since when do people in movies get accents right? You should see how badly they mess up southern accents. There are all kinds of different dielects in the south but they all sound the same in the movies. Ive lived all over and there are hicks every where you go.
