Rob A I love Reese, but I just now watched this (Oct. 2025) as I always felt the film wasn't made for me. I'm a New Yorker born and raised - a Yankee. And as it turns out I was right, I wasn't the target audience. Still, the movie was OK, with an all-star cast. I just really didn't like the ending. It was lame and predictable and unrealistic all at once. 3 stars if it had the unpredictable, yet proper ending. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/09/25 Full Review Martin C. This movie deserves less than a star. I will say that Reese Witherspoon did a great job because I disliked her character so much. The plot was horrible, Melanie’s actions were uncalled for (Especially the bar scene) and Jake and Andrew deserved better than her. I think the 38% provided by Rotten Tomato is too high of a score and it should be nothing above a 15% rated movie. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/05/25 Full Review Gretchen B Watching it in 2025 is a very different thing than when I first saw it in 2002. The subtext in the narrative gave me the ick. The writing is disjointed and the fate of Witherspoon's character is just sad... I'd hate to see where she ended up over 20 year later. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/04/25 Full Review Blu B Ehh...It's ok I guess. The problems are really in the middle of this where it just gets so muddled, disjointed, subpar editing, and unfocused. The relationship with her parents, friends, her husband, cutting to Dempsey, His Mom, than the other guy shows up, it'll just jump around with no warning and it just doesn't feel connected at all. The acting isn't bad though. I wish Dempsey was in it more as he's probably the best thing. Witherspoon isn't bad but she isn't given much either ironically enough and is just complaining and being unlikeable most of the time as the cliche fish out of water New Yorker. Everyone else is just forgettable because it bounces around so much and they feel like stereotypes at times more than anything. Everything else is alright. The setting isn't that memorable, the direction is pretty basic, and there just isn't anything that remarkable about it. It does eventually make sense in the end and has a cliche ending. It's pretty harmless romcom fluff mixed with fish out of water stuff. Skip It. Nothing to get angry about but nothing to see either. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/19/25 Full Review thiago s Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/17/25 Full Review Nim T A comedy that is about a couple that knew each other since 10 years old. The beginning might be a little inappropriate for younger teens to watch. Reese Witherspoon's character was a designer that lived in NYC and didn't necessary show her Alabama roots. The movie was good in that it brought a good comparison of the lifestyles in the north and south. There was a consistent cheesiness throughout the plot such as the reunion of the couple, followed by the way Reese did not want to sign the paper. The movie of showing her original love for Dempsey then to Lucas was a disappointing point. The music implementation and the song nevertheless was used in the movie, so the title is justifiable.
