~*~*~POTENTIAL SPOILERS~*~*~i just rented this movie on DVD. i had wanted to see it for a very long time. i am very impressed with what i saw. they made it somewhat unpredictable. "jake or andrew"? "jake or andrew"? you find the answer at the end of the movie. of course you DO know who she picks in the end. thats the whole point of the movie. melanie re-discovers her lost self and how she's not truly happy unless she's home. it might not be glamorous but its home! despite all the townspeople being white trash or slow, etc.), its still a wonderful movie. you can take a girl out of the south, but you can't take the south out of the girl! watch the movie!its really good! 9 stars out of 10..............
