Preamble
Girls, I heartily apologize. I meant to post this Friday evening after viewing the movie but I was just too tired.

For Those Who Want To Know - But Not KNOW
I have to tell you, that when I jumped on today and read the other reviews for this movie, I was shocked at how... Read full review »

I've Lost Respect Even For A Certain Band. Witherspoon In 'Sweet Home Alabama'

Pros It doesn't try to deceive you about how stupid it is.
Cons It is as stupid as it is.
Recommended it? No



After inching his way up from a dreadful career to the somewhat evocative 'Ever After', Andy Tennant should have left well enough alone. Bringing us such fine directing efforts as 'Ferris Bueller' (that's the television show, not the movie), 'The Amy Fisher Story', 'Sliders', and the... Read full review »

Sweet Home Alabama Falls Flat On The Screen

Pros Likable performers
Cons Predictable script full of unfunny jokes
Recommended it? No

Cute movies usually aren't my cup of tea. There are the occasional "chick" flicks that I enjoy. Say Anything is a winner and so is Singles. Jerry Maguire is also an entertaining film. I guess looking at those three films, there is one thing that stands out—Cameron Crowe. Unfortunately, Crowe is not... Read full review »

Pros cute story, Witherspoon, Lucas, Dempsey
Cons corny, picks fun at the south and north, no depth
Recommended it? Yes

When this movie first came out, a friend and I made plans to go and see it, but never actually came through on our promise to each other. So when a co-worker rented this movie from Blockbuster when it was first released, she lent it to me for the night.

Honey, just cuz I'm lean-n-mean doesn't mean I'm stupid.

Pros Gives small-town America some respect.
Cons Little chemistry between Melanie and Andrew.
Recommended it? Yes

I have to disagree with several friends here. I liked Sweet Home Alabama about as much as I like any romantic comedy. It was (mostly) well-acted, (mostly) well-written, and most unusual of all, fair to its characters.

Melanie grew up in Alabama, but escaped to... Read full review »

Pros Reese Witherspoon looks like she's relishing her role
Cons not very romantic or funny; screwed up characters; just plain boring
Recommended it? No

Not only does everybody back in Alabama know our snooty star's real name after a seven year absence, but they are overjoyed to see her and remember her cute childhood pranks. Ah, she was quite the immortal legend for blowing up a stray cat who had cancer, anyway. This girl married the boy who... Read full review »

Pros Reese Witherspoon. Fun lighthearted movie.
Cons Predictable. Stereotypes about southern people.
Recommended it? Yes

I have seen Reese Witherspoon in a few different movies over the years. She has become a popular actress in the last few years. I do like her so I tend to see many of her movies. I wanted to see Sweet Home Alabama when I first saw the previews for it, but I didn't make it to the theater to see it... Read full review »

Pros Reese Witherspoon, then Lucas, and Dempsey in that order
Cons Story, story and the whole story
Recommended it? No

For a movie as romantic and unlikely as this movie, I can say honestly that it has one virtue, Reese Witherspoon, but all the rest is pure self indulgence , told from the point of view of someone who has lived in the Lala land of Hollywood for too long to get a grip on reality.

So what... Read full review »

Pros They canned the original dumb ending.
Cons They should have canned the whole project.
Recommended it? No

Hollywood making a "southern" movie often ranks up there with the Texaco gas station on the corner making banana pudding. It might sound like a good idea, but it usually turns out like hell.

Sweet Home Alabama is no exception when it comes to tasteless southern fare that may sell a few... Read full review »

Sweet Home Alabama DVD

Reese Witherspoon stars in SWEET HOME ALABAMA a charming romantic comedy directed by Andy Tennant. Witherspoon is Melanie Carmichael a Southern girl who leaves her past behind in order to find success as a fashion designer in New York City. On the night of a hugely important show her charming and romantic boyfriend Andrew Patrick Dempsey proposes to her. It is at that point that Melanie flees for Alabama hoping to take care of some unfinished business before Andrew and his mother New York mayor Kate Hennings Candice Bergan discover the truth about her. The truth is that Melanie whose real last name is Smooter is still married to her childhood sweetheart Jake Josh Lucas who refuses to grant her a divorce. As Melanie reunites with her parents and old friends she is forced to reevaluate her new-and-improved self. In the process she rediscovers a love that she thought she had lost. Tennant's film is elevated by Witherspoon's mere presence. Her rare blend of intelligence wit and beauty are a wonder to behold. Adding to the charm are Lucas and Dempsey who portray characters who are hard to root against.

Sweet Home Alabama [VHS]

This delightfully entertaining romantic comedy stars Reese Witherspoon (LEGALLY BLONDE) as sophisticated Melanie Carmichael, a rising New York clothing designer who suddenly finds herself engaged to the city's most eligible bachelor. But this is no fairy tale romance for Melanie. She has skeletons in her fashion-filled closet that include Jake -- the backwoods husband she married in high school who refuses to divorce her. Determined to end their marriage and sever all ties with her past once and for all, Melanie returns to Alabama. But home starts to tug at her heartstrings, and what she thought she wanted may not be what she wants at all.
