Stars Fell on Alabama

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

Enjoyed this movie very much - it was an escape from a grim news day, and well-executed. The leads and supporting cast are likeable, the direction is first-rate, and the use of anime techniques for montages elevated the production quality.

This is a 21st century Southern style Rom-Com - there are no Confederate flags (only the state flag of Alabama), no redneck stereotypes (thank you), and I can't remember an expletive (thank you). The idea of a Hollywood agent with a moral compass breaks the mold. There is no racism - only one black character and one Asian character, both of whom support the hero to the max. I would have liked to know more about their backstories (especially David, the best friend from back home). Any nastiness from the town's "bad guys" comes from common human failings, not because of Alabama roots (thank you). Most TV franchises hope for six seasons and a movie. This movie gives enough possibilities for six TV seasons!

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.

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's a cute little movie, but not worth spending money on. The acting and editing are amateur (the early truck scene lasts 10 minutes!). If you like Hallmark movies, you'll enjoy it.
