7/10
Full of Southern Charm
30 April 2018
Sweet Home Alabama is a rom-com that stands the test of time. It's one of Reese Witherspoon's most endearing (yet sassy) roles, and it's Josh Lucas in his prime rom-com hero days. Which I guess didn't last all that long, but still, this is the movie that introduced many to him. The chemistry between these two is great and the witty banter and arguing is quite fun. While all in all, it's a silly movie not to be taken too seriously, it does have some shining moments where more serious themes factor in: divorce, loss, homosexuality, identity, roots, family loyalty, and acceptance. Pre-Greys Anatomy Patrick Dempsey is funny is it as the third point in the love triangle.
