this movie has been an all time favorite of mine. the characters take on a life of their own as the movie progresses. you feel like you are part of the scene. in life we all have different roles, but no one person is better than another. we are all human. this movie reminds us that we are all equal and love does conquer all.

This movie depicts how I feel, because I divorced my Southern man. Sometimes in life, those who mean the most to us have the ability to take their mate for granted. After several years of not being noticed or desired, I divorced my first love. I wish I could have the ending of this movie occur. Years have passed and he will not talk to me. Oh what I'd do, to be who we were, before he took me for granted. I really miss my southern man. As children, the first boy I kissed, over and over. . .

I like this movie because I love the South and enjoyed feeling like I was visiting a bunch of old friends and family, just like the title character got to do. It has humor and warmth to it, although I'm not so sure people who don't live in the South will appreciate some of the humor. I'm a Yankee who now lives in the South, and when I saw this movie in a northern theater, there wasn't much laughter, but when I watched it with my Southern friends, we laughed a lot more. But Reese Witherspoon is fun to watch, and seeing "Dr. McDreamy" from Grey's Anatomy in an earlier role is neat, too. There is some offensive language but no violence or sex. I recommend it for anyone with a good sense of humor who wants a light comedy.
Great movie, saw it in the theatre when it came out. It's the first movie that I had ever seen Joshua Lucas in, his blue eyes, and shirtless scenes are enough to make a girl sigh with pleasure. It also re-introduces us to Patrick Dempsey, only some of us are old enough to remember him from such 80's hits as "Can't Buy Me love", (still playing on cable, and still a classic). This is a story about a woman torn between her first love (and husband) and her sophisticated fiance played by Dempsey. Dempsey's character is reminiscent of John F Kennedy Jr. As a woman you think this woman just can't go wrong with whomever she chooses, that's what's nice about this movie. There are no bad guys. The supporting actors are funny in their sweet red-neck ways. When she heads home for a weekend, she is confronted with making an important decision, and finding that home IS where your heart is.It's got a great soundtrack, the movie moves along great, and before you know it, the movie is over, and you just want to watch it again. Andy Tennant is a genius at making you fall in love with these characters. I love the scene where Reese's character runs in to her old friend LurLynn, played by Melanie Lynskey (Two and a Half Men, Ever After)in a bar, she has her new baby, and Melanie says, "You have a baby! In a bar", and LurLynn replies "this one's on the tit, so I can cart him anywhere". Rated PG13, for language, with no suggestion of sex.Read full review
Melanie Carmichael an up and rising fashion designer in New York, has gotten almost everything she wished for since she was little. She has a great career and the JFK-like husband of New York City. But when he proposes to her, she doesn't forget about her family back down South and, more importantly, her husband back there, who refuses to divorce her ever since she sent divorce paper for almost 5 years. To settle matters straight, she decides to go to the south quick and make him sign the papers. But when things don't turn out the way she planned them out, she realizes that what she had before in the south was far more perfect than the life she had in new york city. Reese Witherspoon terrific heartfelt performance makes this movie work. "Sweet Home Alabama" a great movie for those who enjoy a good comedy, and especially those who like Reese Witherspoon.Read full review
