- The Past catches up to Melanie
Melanie Carmichael is living the life of her dreams; her fashion line is becoming a success, she's dating a handsome politician, and she has a bright happy city life. What could possibly go wrong?
The past she ran away from to have it all is slowly catching up with her and her fiance's mother doesn't really want her in the family. The secret life Melanie left back in Pidgeon Creek in Alabama is about to make a huge impact on her life as she has to return back to finalise a divorce from her first husband - who she hasn't told anyone in her new life about.
Life hasn't really changed much in Pidgeon Creek, but Melanie sticks out like a sore thumb with her sharp tongue, cynicism and hoity toity attitude. And to make things worse, her fiance's mother has sent out a spy after her to uncover the truth about the real Melanie - Melanie Smooter.
Reese Witherspoon plays the part brilliantly, she does a great job of making herself the enemy of the whole town, while still being able to convince the viewer she's loveable and entertaining.

- Career woman's dilemma: success or happiness?
This film tells the story of a small town Southern girl made good. Witherspoon has left the small Alabama town she grew up in, and is now a high price fashion designer in New York City. She is also engaged to a wealthy and successful man, but feels a pang of nostalgia for her hometown. When she pays a flying visit, she instantly feels a sense of belonging here that she feels is ever elusive in New York, where she is still sneered at as a peasant from the South. She also bumps into her high school sweet heart, and faces a tough choice between her high powered fiancé and career in New York, and her homely but somewhat more modest first love and small town. Will she have success in New York, or trade success for personal happiness in her old little town.
The film is rather sweet, but I found it a little too sickly sweet in places. The film does have a "cheesey" feel in places, a bit like a Disney film from the 1950s in places. Then again I am a guy. Female viewers may find this film very romantic and captivating, male viewers could probably take or leave it. It could be quite a good film to buy as a present for a wife or girlfriend, or a female friend, especially if she is rather career driven, as she will be able to empathise with the dilemma faced by Witherspoon.
Rating: - Honest
I love this film. I wasn't sure when I read the reviews but when I saw it I felt inspired! Reese witherspoon manages that in most of the films, but this one had an honest feel to it. As a viewer who is addicted to romantic comedies, I can offer a fair oppinion! The lead character (for once) is not perfect... and the plot has some real twists. If you're looking for philosophy this probably isn't the best, but romance with a southern accent... look no further!
Rating:
- Ouch..kinda bad....
This movie had no story line. I found it boring. Not Witherspoons greatest.
Rating: - The best romantic comedy?
I'd wanted this film for absolutaly AGES and when i finally got it i watched it right away. The first time i saw it i thought it was nothing special but then i watched it again and now i'm addicted!
Soppy? yes
Romantic? yes
Cute comedy? yes
It is perfect for a girly night with friends or on your own with nothing but a bag of popcorn for company.
Witherspoon is truly fantastic and you can't help but fall in love with Jake (and feel sorry for Bobby-Ray when she spills his best kept secret) the ending is predictable but sooooooo sweet.
