Product Description

 
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 a...

Sweet Home Alabama - Not Everything It Could Be, But Still Decent

Date of Review:  Sep 29, 2002
The Bottom Line: For chicks only - a movie worth watching.
Review: Preamble
Girls, I heartily apologize. I meant to post this Friday evening after viewing the movie but I was just too tired.

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

Date of Review:  Feb 22, 2003
The Bottom Line: What might have been some Lifetime Movie Network silliness that we could have felt good about mocking is instead a painful 'You're so stupid you'll like this' attack on audiences.
Review:

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...

Sweet Home Alabama Falls Flat On The Screen

Date of Review:  Oct 10, 2002
The Bottom Line: Sweet Home Alabama is an unfunny film. It's predictable and not entertaining. Even those fans of Reese Witherspoon should stay away.
Review: 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...

Girl in NY getting married to rich guy, re-falls in love with her ex-husband.
4/5 stars
Cute chick flick. Reese Witherspoon plays a small town girl that makes it in NY as the new designer and falls for Patrick Dempsey. When she gets engaged to Patrick Dempsey, she finds out that she is not really divorced from Mathew McConnaughey so she goes back to Alabama to have him sign the papers. Very entertaining, Pros: Cute love story, Great Chemistry, Funny
01:49
