Sometimes what you're looking for is right where you left it...
Wow was I surprised by this. What a truly lovely, funny and extremely moving film!The plot doesn't sound up to much and you would be forgiven for thinking this was a typical chick flick, but it's not. Some parts of it actually had me close to tears!
Reese Witherspoon plays Melanie, a girl who has escaped from her Alabama roots in favour of the big lights of the city. Seven years on and she has a successful job and a man who adores her, and when he proposes she says yes. The only thing left to do now is to head back home to tell her parents, and ask for a divorce from her current husband...
This film really is something else, and its really romantic as well without being overly soppy. Witherspoon performs well although you do notice some familiar traits from her acting skills that are made obvious in other films as well but that may not be so much of a bad thing. This is still a really enjoyable film which teaches you that you must always follow your heart, not other people.
Rating 4.5/5
