By Carrie Rickey (1,198) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 25 Aug 2007

If you can tolerate the redneck-versus-blueblood cliches that the film trades in, Sweet Home Alabama is diverting in the manner of Jeff Foxworthy's…

Review of Sweet Home Alabama (2002)

By J.r. Jones (1,066) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 16 Jul 2007

This is the usual cartoon of hound dogs, roadhouses, antebellum mansions, and Civil War reenactments. Aside from that, it's not a bad date movie…

Review of Sweet Home Alabama (2002)

By Peter Travers (3,602) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 13 Jul 2007

Witherspoon has the class, the sass and the full-out talent to sustain a major career…

Review of Sweet Home Alabama (2002)

By Stephen Holden (1,707) for The New York Times (9,847) on 16 Dec 2006

If Sweet Home Alabama, directed by Andy Tennant from a screenplay by C…

Review of Sweet Home Alabama (2002)

By Anthony Lane (1,079) for The New Yorker (1,837) on 04 Dec 2006

Witherspoon shines. She's never looked better, and she carries herself with both her usual comedic flair and a surprising elegance…

Review of Sweet Home Alabama (2002)

By Liam Lacey (1,725) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 27 Aug 2006

Light to the point of disposability, Sweet Home Alabama is a small screwball comic idea that spins out far too long…

Review of Sweet Home Alabama (2002)

By David Sterritt (1,643) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 27 May 2006

It doesn't have a speck of authentic heart -- you can bet its Hollywood creators wouldn't move to Alabama if their lives depended on it --…

Review of Sweet Home Alabama (2002)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 06 Nov 2005

The film does coast along smoothly to the inevitable, which is a credit to the always-game Reese Witherspoon, who's courteous enough to pretend…

Review of Sweet Home Alabama (2002)

By Manohla Dargis (1,909) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 25 May 2005

The South takes another beating in Sweet Home Alabama, but that's nothing compared with the one conferred on the sweetheart personality of…

Review of Sweet Home Alabama (2002)

By Lawrence Toppman (1,654) for Charlotte Observer (1,670) on 24 May 2005

Speaking of sounding Southern, I have to admit that the accents didn't match, and half the actors couldn't even do accents…

Review of Sweet Home Alabama (2002)

By Robert Wilonsky (520) for New Times (L.A.) (313) on 03 Aug 2004

To call the film contrived would imply that some sort of effort had been made, when Sweet Home Alabama is nothing but dead lazy and slow — y'all…

Review of Sweet Home Alabama (2002)

By Maitland Mcdonagh (2,150) for TV Guide Magazine (2,375) on 23 Mar 2004

Fluff in the tradition of Hollywood's screwball comedies of remarriage, lacking the wit or grace of such classics as His Girl Friday (1940)…

Review of Sweet Home Alabama (2002)

By Laura Sinagra (110) for Village Voice (8,525) on 02 Aug 2003

The clunky yee-haw script full of tired bitch/angel oppositions and Witherspoon's school-play petulance cranks the twang to a blare…

Review of Sweet Home Alabama (2002)

By John J. Puccio (1,217) for Movie Metropolis (1,779) on 26 Jan 2003

a well-intentioned but saccharine comedy... In fact, that's its problem. It doesn't do much of anything but meet our lowest expectations…

Review of Sweet Home Alabama (2002)

By Alex Ramirez (113) for Cinenganos (252) on 13 Nov 2002

Diversión asegurada, justo el tipo de cintas que se necesita de vez en cuando…

Review of Sweet Home Alabama (2002)

By Dan Lybarger (786) for Nitrate Online (381) on 13 Oct 2002

It's a safe bet that the gutsy Lynyrd Skynyrd, particularly the outspoken and now deceased singer Ronnie Van Zant, would not have approved…

Review of Sweet Home Alabama (2002)

By Josh Gilchrist (44) for Billings Outpost (Montana) (29) on 07 Oct 2002

Review of Sweet Home Alabama (2002)

Review of Sweet Home Alabama (2002)

By Bruce Bennett (577) for Spectrum (St. George, Utah) (575) on 06 Oct 2002
