I watched another movie yesterday, and I really wish to review it for all of you. If you have watched this in the past, please let me know your opinion below!
Sweet Home Alabama is one of those films that, more than 20 years after its release in 2002, still feels like a cozy company.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0256415/
This is a romantic comedy (and feel-good film as described in imd), in which stars Reese Witherspoon as Melanie Carmichael, a successful New York fashion designer who is suddenly engaged to an amazing man (Patrick Dempsey), but she should return to her home town Alabama to finalize a very important situation that she has left behind and keeps a secret. I prefer not to tell you exactly what this is :)
Part of what keeps this film feeling light and comfy, is lead actors' performance. Witherspoon brings a positive energy to Melanie. She is funny, relatable and likable almost in every scene. Her chemistry with co-stars Josh Lucas and Patrick Dempsey adds a genuine warmth to the story and with some funny elements, the viewer is hooked and is always anxious to see what comes next.
Co-stars like Candice Bergen as mother-in-law, Mary Kay Place and Fred Ward as the brides's parents are also excellent at their small, but defining roles.
There are many surprises in the film, and sometimes I dont want to say the story because it is nice to not anticipate what's coming.
The rating of the movie says it all. 6.2/10 out of hundreds of people who reviewed it.
I would honestly give it between 6, 6.5/10 and would recommend it for a light and funny afternoon, with a nice and easy-to-handle pinch of feelings!

To conclude, I would recommend it if you enjoy these kind of films. Easy to watch, fluffy and cute, with funny moments and romantic feelings in the atmosphere. If you enjoy action/horror/thrillers, maybe you could skip this one!
Thanks for supporting!
