Others include the independent, feminist girlfriend, the redneck buddies and a gay fashion designer.ĭirector Andy Tennant also likes to deal with some classic historical and societal conflicts in this movie, such as the North versus the South.
She is one tough politician who is as cold as ice and predictably obsessed with her public image. Most prominent is the mother of Reese's fiancé, played by Candice Bergen. But if it is stereotypes that you want, they are there to be found.
His expressive face lends an authenticity to Jake that transcends the stereotypical former football star and produces a charismatic, likable guy who just wants to win back his girl. However the real star of the show is Josh Lucas. Witherspoon is right at home in the role as a smart, sassy young woman ala 'Legally Blonde'. You really get a sense of how she must feel when you see her in the honky-tonk bar, surrounded by rednecks with no visible exit. She just cannot seem to get away from it. Old friends seem almost compelled to reminisce about their youthful escapades. Everywhere she turns Reese's character is beset by the people and events of her youth. Of course, this means that she must go back to the small town where she was raised to demand a divorce from Jake (Josh Lucas) - seven years after walking out on him.Īside from being a love story, this film shows us that you cannot escape your past, no matter how hard you try.
I cannot envision anyone but Reese Witherspoon as Melanie, a snooty-but-lovable up-and-coming New York City fashion designer from Alabama who receives a marriage proposal from the prominent, well-bred son of the mayor of New York. Reviewed by daddyfads 5 /10 Reese Witherspoon as a smart, sassy blonde? Hard to believe, I know.

"Sweet Home Alabama" - a fine movie for those who enjoy a good comedy, and especially those who like Reese Witherspoon. The first and last scenes complement each other very well. They had to re-shoot and I think the eventual ending is very appropriate. The "extras" has several deleted scenes, and also includes the original ending that was scrapped after comments from test screenings. The sound is Dolby 5.1 but surround channels are not very dynamic. The DVD is fine but the picture is not "reference" quality. Pay special attention to the story with the cat, and its burned tail, and watch closely at the end.

What is depicted in this film is pretty darned close to reality, with some license taken for making the story a bit more interesting. For those who may see the film and wonder how much the small town life is exaggerated, let me tell you "not much!" I grew up in a very small southern town, and I go back on occasions for high school reunions. Although it is a quite different film from "Legally Blonde" and "Election", I enjoyed it just as much, and will enjoy it upon repeat viewings.Ĭritic Ebert has a good summary of the story so I won't repeat any of it here. The writing is smart and funny, the directing fits the comedic mood of the story, and the acting is just right. This is a fine, funny movie that relies more on an ensemble cast than just on Reese Witherspoon.

A fine and funny movie!Įver hear of the story of crying "wolf?" Most of the extra forceful reviews of "Sweet Home Alabama" are the professional and amateur reviewers that try to tell us, "stay away, this is a waste of your time, do not see it." Bull-dinkey! They are just crying "wolf" for some unknown reason. Reviewed by TxMike N/A Glad I listened to my instinct, not the critics.
