Stars Fell on Alabama

Liked I stated, I watched it twice so it wasn't bad. The worst bit, that I skipped over the second time, was the long drawn out speech that the lead male blabbed on. Actually the whole end of the movie needed a rewrite. Aside that it deserves to be watched.

It was spooky watching this movie, lead actor James Maslow looks just like singer Adam Levine, minus all the tattoos. I had to keep reminding myself he was NOT Levine.

He plays Bryce Dixon, an Alabamian who left town 15 years ago to carve out his career in Los Angeles. He is returning for the class reunion in his hometown of 14,000 and is ashamed to be "single". So he takes along one of his clients, a pretty actress, to pretend to be his girlfriend.

This isn't a Hallmark movie but it follows the same formula. Two attractive and single people begin to be greatly attracted to each other, something comes up to tear it apart, and the last scenes are where everything is made right.

My wife and I watched it at home streaming on Amazon. We enjoyed it, a modern fairy tale of sorts, the actors are pleasant and it was nice to see old American Idol winner Taylor Hicks, a true Alabamian, singing a few songs.

Don't waste your time. I'm a big fan of most Hallmark and Hallmark-type movies, so I thought that's what I was getting. It was so bad, it made hallmark look good. I kept telling myself to turn it off, but it was like a train wreck, I just couldn't look away. Don't do what I did. The "plot" was a given, but that's not what bothered me. The acting was horrible, the chemistry didn't exist and the filler between the standard scenes (the meet-cute, the almost kiss, and the misunderstanding) was so cringing, I was embarrassed for them. Whoever wrote this movie hopefully is now working a normal 9 to 5 and isn't allowed to write ever again.

I'm not sure why I'm even giving it two stars.

Very cliche, very country, fun but a little boring. James is really cute in here. Good Old Romcom, just go with it style.

Remake of all the movies of big time boy going back to small town home. It's cute but the "romance" doesn't seemed believable as it's just the usual cliches. And the guy's eye shadow makeup took center stage The movie is ok, only cuz of cutie Ciara is in it, total nerding from Power Rangers Megaforce... I had to dig up Sweet Home Alabama after watching this movie just to give myself that warm fuzzy feeling.
