Recent Re-Discovery of "Sweet Home Alabama"

Right, right, I know. Isn't that movie a random Reese Witherspoon chick flick from like 6 years ago? Why yes, yes it is. And you know what else? It's ADORABLE. Apparently I had seen this movie before but remembered not a single detail. Except that it was possibly lame. How did I stumble upon this long forgotten rom-com gem? It all started during a post-blue bathing suit haze after viewing "Casino Royale" (reason number 455,512 why we would make the best girlfriends ever: drinking beers and watching a badass Bond movie...minus the whole Daniel Craig ogling). Conveniently, I am an anal tool when it comes to movies and I have all of my (and my roommate's) DVD's categorized alphabetically in printed out list form. So it's very easy to see all the movies in one place and for some reason SHA jumped out at me. Would I dare suggest it for fear of being ridiculed? But I threw it out there and received a hearty approval from Jen and Hallie (Kate having dozed off at this point). So if you're in the mood for a New York-y/down South-y romantic comedy with the charming suaveness of Patrick Dempsey and the under-utilized roughness of Josh Lucas, in addition to Reese's perfect hair, netflix this classic movie.

Keep in mind that I'm prone to coming around to liking things long after their popularity has faded. For example: my obsession with Justin Timberlake's "Senorita" about four years after it debuted. Shut up, that song is awesome.

Also, please reference this Jim Gaffigan quote and apply it whenever someone loves something that's slightly behind the times...

"Hey, I just saw Heat!"
"Heat? I saw that fifteen years ago!"
"Uh... yeah, I wanna talk about it now."
"No, loser!"
