What It's About
Sweet Home Alabama is about a girl who grew up in a small, Alabama town but left her roots to find success in New York City. Reese Witherspoon plays Melanie Carmichael, a successful 28 year-old fashion designer who's dating one of the most eligible bachelors in New York - the mayor's son, Andrew Hennings (Patrick Dempsey.) Melanie's got it all, including a dream marriage proposal right in the middle of Tiffany's.

Her engagement sends her back to her hometown to confront her unusual past and tie up a few loose ends with her husband, Jake Perry (played by Josh Lucas.) Yes - husband. Turns out she's still hitched (gosh darnit!) Melanie learns that sometimes you have to take a step back (or head off to New York,) to realize that what you had was a good thing.

DVD Special Features
