The plot (and subsequent direction) for Alabama Love Story conveys a sense of immaturity and I can only guess it was produced with an early teenage (probably female) audience in mind. Well, I hope so because if it was intended as an adult film the plot and acting was well below standard. As one reviewer pointed out there is no gratuitous sex or violence however I am somewhat baffled by the scene where Goodie rips a live chicken in half by it's legs in order to use the talon to open the snake bite on Roper. Although you don't see the actual ripping of the chicken it is pretty obvious what she has done. Not kiddie material at all. Also baffling that the producers chose to show a method for treating snake bites (cut and suck) that has been discarded for decades. Goodie could have easily applied a pressure bandage using a piece of clothing instead of tearing a poor chicken in half and using its excrement covered talon to rip (I won't say cut since chicken talons are not that sharp) Roper's cut and induce septicemia at the same time. Just an indication that the producers didn't bother researching the plot and didn't give a stuff if children learn outdated and dangerous first aid for snake bites.
