Watched DVD: Sweet Home Alabama
Watched DVD: Sweet Home Alabama (Andy Tennant, 2002). Appalling French title Fashion victime [sic]. Absolutely delightful romantic comedy, thoroughly predictable, full of gorgeous people (Reese Witherspoon + Patrick Dempsey + Josh Lucas). R. and I saw it in Manchester back when it came out (one rainy Saturday afternoon) and had to shut up a group of unruly teenagers who used their mobiles phones and commented upon the "action" or lack thereof. This movie has many ambiguous things to say about class in the US, about the American Dream, success, reinventing oneself, etc. A totally feelgood movie, recommended for anyone feeling blue, after dark. Love the dog cemetery scene (a real place it would seem). Reese Witherspoon as likable as ever.
