THURSDAY MOVIE CONNECTION. Every Thursday in 2012, I am connecting movies through actors.

March is all MUSICALS!

In honor of Alfred Hitchcock's death on April 29, 1980, April is dedicated to Hitch, and all my favorites.

Sweet Home Alabama, 2002

THURSDAY MOVIE CONNECTION!
Josh Lucas--Reese Witherspoon



Director: Andy Tenant (Fool's Gold, Hitch, Ever After: A Cinderella Story, Fools Rush In)
Stars: Reese Witherspoon, Josh Lucas, Patrick Dempsey






When big New York designer Melanie (Witherspoon) gets engaged to the Mayor's son (Dempsey), she goes back home to Alabama to get something she should have gotten many years ago: a divorce from her husband Jake (Lucas). Married right out of high school, Melanie had fled Alabama and Jake soon after the wedding, and had never come back. Until now.

Now Melanie faces her old home, her husband, her family, and old friends, trying to get Jake to sign the divorce papers. Then somehow, the Mayor gets wind of the situation and shows up in Alabama, trying to avoid a scandal.

I don't like the part where Mel makes a fool of herself, and that's quite a bit since she's so sure of herself (except not), and that never works out well. But this one has a happy ending, and it also has Josh Lucas. :)
