negative · AI labelView post →Watched Sweet Home Alabama last night with the lad. The whole movie he’s like “THEY HAVE A CONFEDERATE FLAG PILLOW! WHY ARE THESE THE GOOD GUYS IN THIS MOVIE?!” Probably not the best decision for Disney to choose this one as their Sunday Night Movie.
negative · AI labelView post →Tonight I’m watching Sweet Home Alabama, a movie I think I must have seen (I’m literally from Alabama) but I have truly zero percent memory of watching
neutral · AI labelView post →Listen, it's a good remake, but I'm never going to stop laughing at TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE '03, a movie with Texas in the title, kicking off with "Sweet Home Alabama."
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched Sweet Home Alabama bc.. Idk.... what a repulsive movie.. I cant believe this is by the same director of Ever After....
negative · AI labelView post →“Sweet Home Alabama” is a *terrible* choice for an opening song for a movie with Texas IN THE TITLE.

neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight’s movie: Sweet Home Alabama (2002). Whew. I was expecting a big dumb romcom, but as a bonus, I also got a tranquilizer-strength dose of post-9/11 Red State-Blue State Americanist propaganda! (….three cheers for a Melanie Lynskey sighting, though.)
negative · AI labelView post →More than anything else, the lack of buffer between pretentious film nerds and moms wanting to rent Sweet Home Alabama was the real reason video stores went out of business.

negative · AI labelView post →Mom introduced me to MoTown, specifically The Temptations, and also beach music. Dads was a little more odd. He loved Kenny Rogers, Lionel Ritchie, and was OBSESSED with the Sweet Home Alabama movie so much so that we listened to the soundtrack at least 500,000 times.
