Romance

BooksInMirror | Feb 19, 2024 |

An enjoyable light romantic film with some mildly amusing lines here and there. Reese Witherspoon is excellent as the high-powered New York clothes designer Melanie who has re-designed herself to disguise her somewhat humble beginnings in Alabama.

The characters are excellent, with several well-known actors taking main roles. The pace is good, the on-screen chemistry believable, and if the 'country hick' emphasis in the Alabama scenes is exaggerated, it didn't worry us; it helped the contrast between Amanda's two lifestyles as she struggles to work out where her heart is.

Definitely recommended if you like this genre.
