An old but great movie, Sweet Home Alabama will get you in touch with all your emotions. Reese Witherspoon does an excellent job of portraying Melanie Smooter, an Alabama raised woman turned New York socialite. Funny, sad, and touching, it tells the story of her inner conflict between her first love and her new fiancee – essentially the conflict she is having about bringing her two identities together between Alabama and New York. Although bittersweet, the ending will have you believing in young love and fate. I highly recommend you gather your girlfriends and watch this for a movie night! If you don’t believe me, here’s the YouTube trailer to convince you.Â
