SWEET HOME ALABAMA

Buena Vista; Directed by Andy Tennant

Rated PG-13; 2002

Melanie Carmichael has it all – a great job as a fashion designer, a position in New York society, an engagement to the city’s most eligible bachelor … and a redneck husband (?). Melanie has tried hard to overcome her trashy past but her high school beau will not let her go. She heads home to Alabama to end their contentious relationship and get on with her new life.

PROMOTION IDEA:

Have a fashion show before your viewing and let some of your students strut their stuff on the runway. Get a local designer or clothing store to sponsor your event in exchange for advertising their business.
