Sweet Home Alabama

Sweet Home Alabama

2002

Beautiful, ambitious Melanie (Reese Witherspoon) leaves her rural Alabama background and high school-sweetheart husband (Josh Lucas) behind in favor of Manhattan's glamorous fashion and social circles. When her Park Avenue boyfriend (Patrick Dempsey) proposes, it's time to head South and finally get those divorce papers signed. But will it really be that easy to forget her past?

Sometimes what you run away from are what you miss the most.
