Don't take this movie too seriously. Keep it light and enjoy the cute fun. Reese is adorable and it's not too shabby watching Patrick Dempsey as the suave mayor's son. Cute!... Full review

This movie is really really good. It is appropriate for probably children 10-11 and older. It's not full of trash and is full of pure comedy. The cast was really well-selected with Reese Witherspoon and Josh Lucas as the leads. They... Full review

For me, it's always the hallmark of a decent film when the minor characters impress you.
The screenplay is the thing, and the two comics work well within the structure.
If you like the actors, you'll like this film.

Sweet Home Alabama" was well worth my effort.
Reese, as always, is completely believable and infinitely sympathetic despite her character's floundering/toggling personality.

But Lucas does well with the role and generates more sympathy than anyone else in the picture.
Candace Bergen plays Andrew's mom, the NYC mayor, mostly as a cold, conniving politician thinking only of her own political future and therefore hoping for a proper and prestigious marriage for her son.
