On Saturday I decided to see a matinee of "Sweet Home Alabama", that new "romantic comedy" starring "Reese Witherspoon". In this movie, she plays "Melanie Carmichael" a New York "Fashion Designer" who gets engaged to the Mayor's (played by Murphy Brown) "son". Only it turns out she's already married from 7 years earlier and has to return to Sweet Home Alabama (Pigeon Point, Alabama, actually) to get a divorce from her rogueish husband. "Hilarity" insues.
I'll admit it, though, I am a sucker for a good romantic comedy sometimes. Hope springs eternal and all that. I am having trouble defining if SHA is good, though. My Reese Witherspoon blinders are on (damn you Ryan Phillippe - and Tobey Mcguire for encouraging them to get together!). The movie was cute, though incredible predictable.
Do you think that:
A) Romantic Comedy Heroine marries guy she starts out with.
B) Romantic Comedy Heroine discovers she still loves the guy she left.
C) Romantic Comedy Heroine shows all the boys in Pleasantville what true "color" is all about.
Of course, telling you the answer would give away the ending. Then again so did the commercials if you look closely, so B.
I wonder if the Dixie Chicks have a song on the soundtrack. Wait, nope, Amazon says they didn't, but Jewel does a cover of the title song. Ugh. |
