You can not take the girl from the south

Have you seen Sweet Home Alabama? It 'was the big screen in 2002. It 'was one of those romantic comedies. He was in college, even cynical. If you do not remember all the films you have in the past five years, not seen, perhaps these names recall. She was blonde actress Reese Witherspoon, A Beautiful Mind Hansen, Josh Lucas, Patrick Dempsey, Grey's Anatomy resident.

To refresh your memory, hereAs the story. Melanie Carmichael, played by Reese, is the hot new designer in the Big Apple. Live the life that I wanted since I was young. If you believe that life is the most common word for friend-Andrew Hennings, knee and proposed to get all the rings of Tiffany. That easy. Even against his own kid soon to be mother-in-law, you can not compare Kate Hennings, Mayor of New York, is not afraid of feelings when MelanieNew York returns to her roots and her husband, Jake Perry, played by Josh's face. Since Jake has not sent the divorce papers signed five years ago, must make the long trip to Alabama. The story mainly on peace with its past by Melanie to ask who made them. It ended on a positive note with Melanie and Jake returned to the point where they kissed each other for thousands of years, and lightning everywhere. True to its motto: "Sometimes what you're looking forwhere you left off. "

Apart from the things so sweet, I liked the movie, with all its subtle and less subtle planes in Alabama. These are the jokes that I got three:

After a look at the divorce papers, "said Jake Melanie you can see his lawyer, because it is a country boy and the documents can not pronounce the words should be a lot more sense.

If a person throughout the film, which is very vocal about their opinions on human healthin the south, the prize goes to the Mayor Hennings. If Your Highness set foot in Alabama, is nothing but sarcasm. After hitting a mosquito, he said, "One down, six million to go." Melanie's father has his back. For this, he said, "Be careful, just kill the state bird of Alabama."

Mayor Kate Hennings did it again. He said mother Melanie, so condescending that the whole movie to "return to double-wide and fry something up." Apparentlythat is too much for Melanie, because the mayor decorated shortly after the words were spoken.

There are other forums and discussions on the film describes how Alabama. Personally, I do not think that should really be a problem, but I think if you live in New York and the world will see a Yankee redneck, I do not feel good.

The labels tend to generalize. As I do, to see the stereotypes, it's there. The least we can do is make the bestthat. And 'This is the same thing to be proud of. If people who look like a hillbilly to show below, it is possible that you are among them. It is a matter of perspective. If you lived in town all his life, and can never face to face with someone from Alabama, you can try a site and let the insults. On the other hand, if the guys from the south and the city can not change their point of view, go with the flow. As they say, ifcan not beat them, join. Think of it as a joke for others. Until you know your worth, would not hurt a parody of a few.

Ultimately it was a good movie. I gave him four popcorn. Congratulations to Mayor Hennings!
