(1 - 42) of 42 OFCS Rating: 41% Rotten Page   1   "Diversión asegurada, justo el tipo de cintas que se necesita de vez en cuando..."   Cinenganos   Alex Ramirez 3.5/5 "Whether you're a bustling businessperson in a busy city a laidback local in the middle of nowhere, Sweet Home Alabama will make you smile."   Filmcritic.com   Blake French 1.5/4 "It's a safe bet that the gutsy Lynyrd Skynyrd, particularly the outspoken and now deceased singer Ronnie Van Zant, would not have approved."   Nitrate Online   Dan Lybarger 3/4 "...minus the vivacious charm of its lead star, the movie would have easily been a waste of celluloid."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes 2/4 "...a sporadically amusing yet entirely ineffective romantic comedy that ultimately squanders an expectedly charismatic turn from star Reese Witherspoon."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2/4 "There simply isn't enough going on in the minds of these simpleton characters, let alone in the lugubrious plotting they're stuck in, to care about any of it."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 0/4 "This is one of the most painful, loathesomey, unfunny big studio, mainstream star vehicle comedies I’ve had to sit through in a long time."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress D+ "A horrifyingly predictable romantic comedy that, unlike Legally Blonde, can't coast even partially on the formidable charm of suddenly-a-star Reese Witherspoon."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 1.5/4 "Although the winsome actress is afforded the opportunity to demonstrate her usual perky persona, Witherspoon cannot lend her magic to this irritating and witless marshmellow of a movie."   TheWorldJournal.com   Frank Ochieng C- "Offers very little genuine romance and even fewer laughs...a sad sitcom of a movie, largely devoid of charm."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2.5/4 "Die-hard fans of Witherspoon and the romantic comedy genre will probably find enough to like in this film to make it worth a trip to the theater. Everyone else would be best served by spending their hard-earned money on something else."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2.5/4 "feels disingenuous at the end when it attempts to celebrate all that it had previously made fun of"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 4/5 "Reese Witherspoon stars in a startlingly well-written and enjoyable romantic comedy full of laughs and finely crafted characters."   Netflix   James Rocchi 3/4 "Witherspoon deserves credit for turning a sow's ear into a silk purse with just a smile."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 5/10 "It's a fairy tale you've heard before, with nothing special to get your attention -- no zip, no snap, no zing."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 2/4 "Sweet relies heavily on the charms of its lead performer. Unfortunately, not even the talented Witherspoon can sell everything that the film throws at us."   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman 4/10 "The film's comedy is too broad, flat, occasionally forced and predictable to be as enjoyable or entertaining as it could and should have been."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 6/10 "[Witherspoon] turns this standard screenplay into enjoyable fare with her smile alone."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 5/10 "...a well-intentioned but saccharine comedy... In fact, that's its problem. It doesn't do much of anything but meet our lowest expectations."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 3/5 "Predictable mediocrity."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 2.5/4 "As she did in "Legally Blonde," Reese Witherspoon manages to carry not only her part of the film but also drags almost everyone else through it, no matter how far fetched or implausible."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson C+ "The lyrics to the old Skynyrd song may say that, "I miss Alabamy once again/And I think it's a sin", but to miss this Alabamy would probably be a good idea."   Countingdown.com   Larry Carroll 2.5/5 "Rescued from mediocrity by Reese Witherspoon."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 1.5/4 "A perfect example of a movie that does as very little as possible"   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "Entirely watchable and highly enjoyable thanks to Reese Witherspoon, and we should all prostrate ourselves before her as befits the goddess she is."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2/4 "Witherspoon is not immune to the bland and processed feel to this rote romantic comedy."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 3/4 "It's a date movie where you laugh, have fun, and walk out reminded of just how wonderful and magical love can be."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 4/5 "It’s official. Reese Witherspoon is the new Meg Ryan."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2/5 "Responsável direto pelo fracasso 'artístico' de Doce Lar, o roteirista C. Jay Cox não consegue sequer aproveitar os pouquíssimos momentos em que escapa da mediocridade."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 2/5 "Watching Reese Witherspoon in Sweet Home Alabama is like looking at a daisy floating in a toilet: She's the best thing in it, but you wonder what she's doing there."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves C+ "Starts out great, but runs out of gas near the end."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten C+ "Much like a balloon, this bland star vehicle is glaringly bright, light as helium and completely empty in the middle."   Eclipse Magazine   Sean O'Connell 2.5/4 "Very predictable but still entertaining"   sbs.is   Stefan Birgir Stefansson 7/10 "If one defines a 'movie star' as an actress/actor whose presence can carry, even elevate, a mediocre movie, Reese Witherspoon is definitely a movie star. Despite the predictable plot and cliche stereotypes, her irresistable charisma makes it frothy and am"   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 0.5/4 "Has the unlikely distinction of rendering Witherspoon shrill, dull, and during one ugly drunken tirade, irredeemable."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "It's fairly clear that the film is pressing the idea that country/roots is real and good, and city/relocated is false and noxious."   PopPolitics.com   Cynthia Fuchs C+ Read review   EricDSnider.com   Eric D.
