It takes every bit of her talent and all - around adorability to keep this romantic comedy aloft, considering the considerable weight of its uncertain script. Witherspoon has charm, sparkle, and impeccable comic timing to keep the entire movie afloat and make it look effortless. Her accent come back, and, more disconcertingly, so do some of her feelings for her husband, Jake. So, she goes back to HOME for first time in seven years, and she finds out that you can take girl out of Pigeon Creek, but you can't take Pigeon Creek out of girl.
SWEET HOME ALABAMA MOVIE CHARACTERS FREE
Way back when she was just Melanie Cooter of Pigeon Creek, ALABAMA, She got herself hitched to her childhood sweetheart, and now she needs to get herself unhitched so that she can be free to marry Prince Charming. It is 21 - century Cinderella's dream come true, except for one hitch - literally. Not only was it a huge success, but she also got a swooningly romantic marriage proposal from a gorgeous, thoughtful, supportive man who adores her - and who happens to be the son of the Mayor of New York.
In SWEET HOME ALABAMA, Melanie Carmichael is a fashion designer just breaking through to the big time with her first solo show. Drinking, vandalism, and minor crimes are portrayed as evidence of free spirit. There are references to teen pregnancy, and Melanie gets drunk at a bar: She acts belligerent, vomits, and passes out. On the iffier side, you can expect occasional profanity, including s - t, d - k, bitch, piss, bastard, and t - t. Also encouraging: When a gay man is out in public, his friends offer positive models of acceptance. Unlike so many movies in which Southerners are portrayed as little more than punchlines or bullying bigots, even minor characters here have some depth and rise above typical stereotypes, even if the movie sometimes comes off as trying a little too hard to prove its Dixieness. Parents need to know that SWEET HOME ALABAMA stars Reese Witherspoon as Melanie, New York City Fashion designer who returns to her rural ALABAMA town.
