Sweet Home Alabama (2002 Andy Tennant)

Reese Witherspoon returns home to finally divorce Josh Lucas - even though he has a nice dog - because she wishes to marry Patrick Dempsey, who has a horrid mother (Candice Bergen). Mary Kay Place (It's Complicated) and Fred Ward (The Player, Short Cuts) are her parents  and I thought Mary Louise Parker looked funny - it wasn't her. Though it is a young Dakota Fanning at the beginning.

I quite like this spunky girl who as the plot develops turns out has been up to all sorts of mischief in her past. How does it all turn out though, I wonder, with her as the new New York fashion darling whilst he has just opened his glass blown business down South? No matter. It may be quite shallow but it's a pleasant enough way to finish the evening, especially if you're a Reese fan.

Andrew Dunn shot it.
