Sweet Home Alabama starring Reese Witherspoon and Josh Lucas follows a woman with a secretive past as she one more time engages with the cities most eligible bachelor.
Watching Reese Witherspoon in Sweet Home Alabama is like looking at a daisy floating in a toilet: She's the best thing in it, but you wonder what she's doing there.
It's as preposterous and phony as a Confederate C-note, but Reese Witherspoon has so much natural beauty, talent and charm she guarantees more fun than the day the hogs ate Willie.
