English Summary:

Sweet Home Alabama is a 2002 American romantic comedy film directed by Andy Tennant and starring Reese Witherspoon, Josh Lucas, Patrick Dempsey and Candice Bergen. The film was released by Touchstone Pictures on September 27, 2002. The film takes its title from the Lynyrd Skynyrd song of the same name.

On an Alabama beach, 10-year-olds Jake Perry and Melanie Smooter inspect the result of lightning striking sand. Jake asserts that they will be married one day.

In the present day, Melanie is a successful fashion designer who has adopted the surname "Carmichael" to hide her poor Southern roots. After wealthy Andrew Hennings proposes, Melanie returns to Alabama to announce her engagement to her parents and finalize a divorce from her estranged husband, Jake. Meanwhile, Kate Hennings, Andrew's mother and the Mayor of New York City, doubts Melanie's suitability as to wed her son, whom she is grooming to run for President of the United States.

Melanie visits Jake, who has avoided signing the divorce papers. After Jake orders Melanie out of his house, Melanie empties Jake's checking account, hoping to spur him into ending the marriage. Jake finally relents and agrees to the divorce and promises to return the signed papers the next morning. Later, at a local bar, Melanie gets drunk, insults her old school friends, and outs her old childhood pal, Bobby Ray Bailey. The next morning, Melanie finds the signed document on her bed.

Melanie goes to the Carmichael plantation and apologizes to Bobby Ray. She is cornered there by Kate's assistant, sent there to gather information on Melanie's background. Bobby Ray backs up her pretense that she is a relative and the family mansion is her childhood home. Melanie reconciles with her friends and learns that after she split with Jake, he had followed her to New York to win her back. Intimidated by the city and her success, he returned home to make something of himself first. She and Jake have a heart-to-heart talk, and Melanie understands why he never signed their divorce papers.

 

German Summary:

Melanie Carmichael, eine junge Frau aus einer einfachen Familie, hat den Sprung aus der Kleinstadt Pigeon Creek in Alabama nach New York geschafft. Sie ist erfolgreich als neue Designerin in die Modeszene eingestiegen, feiert einen beruflichen Erfolg nach dem anderen – und nicht nur dort. Denn Andrew, der Sohn der Bürgermeisterin, macht ihr beim bekannten Juwelier Tiffanys einen Heiratsantrag. Melanie nimmt diesen überglücklich an, verschweigt aber, dass sie noch in ihre Heimatstadt zurückmuss, um ihre Scheidung zu regeln, denn sie ist noch immer mit ihrem Jugendfreund Jake, der damals ein echter Versager war, verheiratet. Dieser weigerte sich bisher, einer Scheidung zuzustimmen.

Als Melanie dort mit ihren Eltern und alten Freunden zusammentrifft, haben diese erst wenig Verständnis für ihre Wandlung von einem Südstaatenmädchen zur Yankeefrau. Doch auch Melanie entdeckt, dass sich in ihrer Heimat einiges geändert hat. Jake hat nämlich sein eigenes Geschäft aufgebaut und ist damit ebenfalls sehr erfolgreich, auch wenn er dies zunächst vor ihr erfolgreich zu verstecken versucht.
