Sweet Home Alabama

I'd say watch out for spoilers here, but I can't think of a single surprise offered. My hatred for this movie exists on many levels, but for all the fans out there, I'm wondering: was there one second during this film when you didn't know exactly how it was going to end? I try not to analyze movies while I'm watching them, and I can never solve murder mysteries before the characters do, but I had this entire thing figured out in about 4 minutes. Right down to who didn't sign the divorce papers. Is it supposed to be predictable, and just a fun ride? And if so, why are all the main characters jerkfaces who I wish no happiness for? Is profanity allowed here? Thanks.

This movie is the worst. I thought Serendipity was bad last year, but this one surely is worse. It's so incredibly predictable and so out of touch with reality! Going to see it was such a mistake. I wouldn't recommend even renting it. 1 out of 10!

I thought that this film was a pleasant Rom-Com with good performances all around. Overall, I think you could call it a feel-good movie, and in today's world of war and terrorism that has to be a good thing. Escapism is one (among many) of the functions that movies provide, a temporary escape from the worries and stresses of life. I gave this review the title 'End of an Era' because I would be very surprised if it would be possible to make this film again. It has a tolerance of Southern nationalism (Confederate pillows, her father dressed in a Confederate uniform etc) that would be difficult to include post the 2015 Charleston murders and the subsequent bans on the use of Confederate imagery by many retail outlets etc. Personally I think that was unjustified, effectively like trying to destroy history, and I find it quite sad.
