About this movie

This delightfully entertaining romantic comedy stars Reese Witherspoon as sophisticated Melanie Carmichael, a rising New York clothing designer who suddenly finds herself engaged to the city's most eligible bachelor. But this is no fairy tale romance for Melanie. She has skeletons in her fashion-filled closet that include Jake -- the backwoods husband she married in high school who refuses to divorce her. Determined to end their marriage and sever all ties with her past once and for all, Melanie returns to Alabama. But home starts to tug at her heartstrings, and what she thought she wanted may not be what she wants at all.

Good movie. Love Josh Lucas, but another "small town girl goes to big city, reinvents herself, hooks great guy, she gets found out." Who dumps who is a crapshoot.

Very funny from the 1st min. Keeps your interest, no drifting off in boredom. Perfect casting. All around good movie! Reece and Josh make perfect on screen romantic couple. Highly recommended!

Southern garbage flick. Too many Confederate flag and civil war references. Can't believe this is even offered on Google play.
