Sweet Home Alabama DVD Review

On it's first opening weekend, the romantic comedy Sweet Home Alabama snagged the top spot at the box office, while Reese snagged hearts across North America. Now this romantic comedy is hitting your local video store.

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
The DVD is loaded with extra features including eight deleted scenes, a totally different ending that was never used, and the music video for SHeDaisy's hit Mine All Mine of the Sweet Home Alabama soundtrack.

If you're a Reese fan or just a fan of fun, mushy movies, you gotta bag this one! And guys, it's a perfect Valentine gift for your girl.
