Sweet Home Alabama If you are like most people and have never seen a miracle, see Reese Witherspoon in Sweet Home Alabama. She turns a predictable chic flick into something actually entertaining. Witherspoon plays New York fashion designer Melanie Carmichael, who escapes the traditional country life of her hometown in Alabama. She has got it all a great career, friends, and hot boyfriend. When her big city sweetheart, Andrew, played by Patrick Dempsey, proposes to her in the middle of Tiffany’s, she can’t help but say yes. Unfortunately, it’s all a little too good to be true. She has to revisit her past in order to divorce her childhood sweetheart, Jake, played by Josh Lucas. Jake is not at all eager to sign the divorce papers, that Melanie shows up with after being gone for some seven years. His goal is to win her back. He holds a secret throughout the movie, which keeps Mel and the audience wondering. The movie is amusing in some parts; her fiancé’s mother is Candice Bergen, the mayor of New York and is anything but enthusiastic about her son’s choice to marry Mel.
