Critic Reviews
Pure formula, right down to Melanie's final choice, which will come as no surprise to anyone paying attention.full review
Light to the point of disposability, Sweet Home Alabama is a small screwball comic idea that spins out far too long.full review
I enjoyed Witherspoon and the local color, but I am so very tired of the underlying premise.full review
Will the parties responsible for kidnapping Reese Witherspoon and putting a grinning replicant in her place please bring her back?full review
Every time you look, Sweet Home Alabama is taking another bummer of a wrong turn.full review
