Sweet Home Alabama is a rather sweet movie, really. Lol, excuse the pun (if that counts for a pun...). Reese Witherspoon (who is so cute) plays a woman named Melanie Smooter who grew up in Hick-Town before moving away to NY to start a new life. Melanie changes her last name to Carmicheal, starts a fashion business, and tries to forget that she ever had connections with the fashionless, dirty, thick-accented losers from Alabama.
When her gushily perfect NY boyfriend (Dempsey-Wempsey) proposes to her, she is forced to take a trip back to Alabama to force her husband/ex-husband, Jake Perry, (Lucas) to sign the divorce papers that he's been blatantly refusing for seven years. Well, you can guess how it goes. She reacquaints herself with the simple ways of the south.
The acting is pretty good, the story is sweet, and the southern accents are hilarious.
P.S. If you are wondering to what tone I use the term "Dempsey-Wempsey," it is strong sarcasm and contempt... i think he's nasty!
