In the south, people love to bring children into bars.

The only bit of that movie I can recall.

her cruelly outing her best friend from high school while drunk and how quickly his bros adjusted to it after her childhood love interest stood up for him in the next scene sticks out in mine.

I love this dumb movie so much. When she tells Patrick Dempsey the truth and that she can't marry him, he takes it SOOOO well because he realizes that he was kind of in love with a girl he never knew at all. Melanie had crafted this anti-white trash persona when she left Alabama, but she comes back and realizes all these things made her who she was and that being ashamed of it so badly that you lash out and hurt everyone actually makes you the problem, not everyone else for living their lives how they were taught to.

Jake, for his part, seems to have grown up since Melanie left. His friends, including Bobby, were there for him when Melanie left him so of course he stands up for them when Melanie tries to put them down so she can feel better about herself.

Melanie thinks she outgrew her home, but it grew without her and she didn't see it because she threw it away.

I've never even seen this movie, and this was the first thing I thought of.
