Sweet Home Alabama - The Movie - A Question

[grinningghost]

I finally watched this movie (I'm a little late on the draw sometimes).

The movie was good, but I was SO mad at the way it ended.

I wanted her to marry the Patrick Dempsey character - he was so sweet. I really thought at the last second, she'd hesitate, but realize he was really the right one.

And she dumped him at the altar!

Am I the only one that didn't want the Alabama guy to win?

Am I the only one that didn't want the Alabama guy to win?

Maybe so. I thought they did a good job of making PD's character look like a self absorbed jerk.

I saw this on the other day and also wondered how much different this movie will be seen now that PD is a big star. Before GA his movie career was pretty average.

Oh yeah, I said that when I saw the movie the first time, long before PD was McDreamy I knew he was dreamy. The other guy is cute and I like him in other roles, but he was too hillbilly for me in that movie. I'd have picked me some rich New York city boy with the beautiful ring from Tiffanys if I were in her place!

 

[Tybug]

I didn't like PD in that role... but I also think that was what they wanted. I was pulling for the country boy the whole time!!

But you know the mother-in-law comes as a package deal too, right?

But you know the mother-in-law comes as a package deal too, right?

Well, I thought of that - but I would have snagged up McCityBoy and hung up everytime Mother called on the phone - she would have eventually got the message.

I wanted the two hours of my life back. I agree, she should have chosen McCityboy.

 

[trappednabox]

take me to tiffany's like that and i'll be yours FOREVER I liked how the movie ended though, even though I felt bad for PD

 

[KristinBelle]

I loved the ending.

 

[lillygator]

I was a bit torn, but the one she chose was a hottie too!

 

[arielsleepingbeauty]

They are both handsomely cute. i am a country girl froma small time so i would have picked the first husband. Plus i wouldn't want a mother in law like Candace Bergan.

Anyone see "Can't Buy Me Love." ? I love Patrick in his younger days. He certainly aged well!!!!

 

[MUFFYCAT]

I didn't like the ending either
I was rooting for McCityboy.

Did anyone notice his hair? it look like it was standing up it was so thick.
Almost like this smiliie

That's exactly how I felt. Gimme my 2 hours back.

One of my favorite movies!! I can watch it over and over...while I don't think PD's character was a jerk, I have to say Jake stole my heart.

 

[luv2crash]

I loved the movie, I was pulling for Jake. Maybe it's a BAMA thang!

 

[jennyL]

This movie was on yesterday when I got home. I loved the ending. I'm a huge PD fan from his early movies but I wanted the country boy all the way this time.

 

[clownfish1452]

I love this movie so much I even put it on my ipod. I was very happy with the way it ended.

I love that movie! I like the way it ended. Jake is so cute But I'm one of those weird people who thinks PD is good looking enough but still can't see what all the fuss is about

 

[Sherrypooh]

I too loved the ending, but really, I can't see how it would have ended any other way. PD seemed fine with it, and he could have had his choice of anyone. Guess the ending just seemed to be the only way to go. sorry!

Has anyone watched the alternate ending on the DVD? I really like that ending! Jake walks in, carrying Melanie, and he says "Melanie Carmichael is dead!", and there is a big pause, and Melanie sits up and says something like "But Felony Melanie is here to stay!" I love it!
