CGiii Comment
Oooh the fashion world with all the usual suspects.
Good production values, fairly well acted - the usual rom-com affair - forgettable, ethereal, and made to make a quick buck.
Reese - sweet - Witherspoon does what she does best - being sweet. Yucky.

The(ir) Blurb...
Melanie Carmichael, an up and rising fashion designer in New York, has gotten almost everything she wished for since she was little. She has a great career and the JFK-like fiancée of New York City. But when he proposes to her, she doesn't forget about her family back down South. More importantly, her husband back there, who refuses to divorce her ever since she sent divorce papers seven years ago. To set matters straight, she decides to go to the south quick and make him sign the papers. When things don't turn out the way she planned them, she realizes that what she had before in the south was far more perfect than the life she had in New York City.
