From the Back Cover
In this delightful romantic comedy, Reese Witherspoon (Legally Blonde) stars as sophisticated Melanie Carmichael, a rising New York fashion designer who suddenly finds herself engaged to the city’s most eligible bachelor. But this is no fairy tale romance for Melanie. She has a secret past that includes Jake (Josh Lucas, A Beautiful Mind), 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.

Reese Witherspoon at her best.,
By
This review is from: Sweet Home Alabama [DVD] [2002] (DVD)
This romantic comedy perfectly suits Reese Witherspoons style. In this film she plays Melanie Carmichael, an up and coming fashion designer who is about to marry Andrew, a politician and son of the New York mayor (Candice Bergen). What she hasn't told her future husband is that she hasn't actually divorced her previous spouse and she isn't really from a rich southern family. Her name isn't even Carmichael really, it's Smooter.
Cue the comedy as Mel returns to the small town in Alabama in order to get her ex to sign divorce papers. No longer part of the small community she left, the community that knew her as 'Felony Melanie', Mel finds herself somewhat out on a limb. To make matters worse, her ex husband Josh is still smarting at the way Melanie left him and he is not going to make a divorce easy. If that doesn't make the road to wedded bliss difficult enough, Mel's future mother-in-law is decidedly unhappy with her son's choice of bride and is determined to put a spoke in the wheel. This isn't just a lightweight comedy however; there are some very poignant moments, particularly when Mel has to evaluate the person she has become and face the fact she may not like that person. The DVD has a few extras such as deleted scenes, alternative ending, audio commentary and a music video, and the quality of picture and sound are as good as you would expect from the format. This is an enjoyable, heart warming, funny film that is well worth a look.

Great Fun,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sweet Home Alabama [DVD] [2002] (DVD)
Originally Skeptical about buying this, due to mixed reviews, i descided to give it a go anyway- and im really glad i did.This is a easy to watch romantic comedy, with a brilliant (as usual) performance from the lovley Reese Witherspoon, and an easy to get into storyline. This is a romantic comedy that is suitable for the whole family to watch together without cringing- (as i did at certain parts of 'Love Actually', which i made the mistake of watching with my parents at 15!) Full of humour, romance, and being stuck in the middle of two husbands, Teens will love it, but it is easily sophisticated enough for any adult to enjoy too! :)

Really cute,
By Fiona "Fiona" (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sweet Home Alabama [DVD] [2002] (DVD)
Sweet Home Alabama is about a rising fashion designer who has to choose between her high school sweetheart (who she married) and a really, really lovely guy who happens to be the next JFK figure. It is about many other things as well and isn't just a simple love story.This is one of the best romantic comedies out there in my opinion and well worth a watch even if you aren't usually a fan of such films. With preformances by Reece Witherspoon there isn't much that you can dislike about Sweet Home Alabama. And for you girls - Josh Lucas does take his shirt off! So even if you don't like romantic comedies - Josh Lucas takes his shirt off and plays one of the most loveable blokes I have ever witnessed. Apart from that - it is a really good movie which brought a tear of happiness to my eyes at least. It really is such a lovely movie and quite beautiful too. With such great acting talents that are truly convincing to you. I just cannot get this movie out of my head, it was so sweet. If you do like romantic comedies this is well worth a buy, if you're not so keen you should see it anyway and then you'd want to buy it. It's that good.
