 SPLICEDwire | "Sweet Home Alabama" review (2002) Andy Tennant, Reese Witherspoon
As a young designer launching her own label and receiving rave reviews at New York's Fashion Week, the idea that she could disappear into the deep South for what seems like weeks without ever thinking about her business proves how little the filmmakers cared about presenting a credible modern woman as a heroine.
Director Andy Tennant is a deft and clever navigator of hackneyed romantic stereotypes (see "Ever After," his witty modern riff on Cinderella), and his guidance keeps "Alabama" passably entertaining in spite of its plot holes and bouts of unoriginality.
Witherspoon gives a sparkling, funny but genuinely torn performance that further demonstrates her capacity as a comedienne -- although after this and "Legally Blonde," she's at risk of becoming pigeonholed as cutsey-poo like Meg Ryan and Sandra Bullock (the press kit calls her "America's sweetheart").
