Hollywoods Newest Superstar is Born-Pro South Film 'Sweet Home Alabama' Shatters B.O. Records
Box Offcie Mojo.com ^ | Sept. 28, 2002 | Staff Writer

Posted on 09/28/2002 3:35:26 PM PDT by tip of the sword

The Pro-South comedy 'Sweet Home Alabama' debuted last night with a take of close to 13 million which is slighly under the single day record of 13.3 million for 'Rush Hour' in Spetember.

Since Saturday Night is 'Date Night' expert expect that number to go up and the film to gross close to 40 million for the weekend making Resse Witherspoon second to Julia Roberts as a leading current female star.

A new affinty for films of the south or new star power of Genration X, or a combination of both..you make the call!

LOL! I read a review of a new series, debuting this fall, in which a mother takes her little girl to a softball game and all of the other little girls are each named Caitlin.

Reese is hot and lot nicer than Julia Roberts at any age. Another up and comer is Amada Peet. She was great in "Changing Lanes".

From what I have seen of the previews, it is stereotypical. Then again, I wouldn't have expected anything less, from Billywould.

Australian beauty Nicole Kidman was so shocked by the violence when she took her children to see the movie The Four Feathers, she marched them out before the film even finished. The Moulin Rouge redhead, adopted mother of Isabella, nine, and Connor, seven, took her children to the Mann National Theatre in Westwood, California, on September 20 to see the flick starring Heath Ledger, the boyfriend of her best friend Naomi Watts. But a source also watching the flick says that the PG-13-rated movie was too intense for little Connor. The eyewitness tells American magazine Us Weekly, "Nicole put him on her lap as the shots turned violent and kissed his head. About three-quarters of the way through the film, she decided she had had enough and walked out."

What part of PG-13 did she not understand?

Good, I saw the movie and didn't remember her in it, unless she was at the very beginning!

Reese was actually pretty good in a teen comedy which was titled 'Love Potion No. 9' with Shakespearian actor Paul Rudd (not kidding)

Cruel Intentions wasn't bad for trashy fun as well..

I saw her in 'Saving Silverman' and 'The Whole Nine Yards,' she is always typecast as the bad girl.

I would like to see what she could do in a different comedy genre

From what I hear she still thinks and hangs with the socialists in HOLLYWEIRD. She's no conservative
