I'm not really sure that I saw the same movie as the other reviewers. I thought that the acting was horribly wooden and the story contrived. The socialite friend characters were annoying. Please save your time and don't watch this movie. I wasted an hour and a half on this, and I regret it.

I was incredibly bothered by the obvious gaffes in the film making. The inside of the shack they stayed in was at least twice as large as the exterior shots. There were a lot of holes in the story, and it bugged me that they resorted to a narrator to tell so much of the story. Once again, unless you are a fan of the country singers involved, save your time and brain cells and don't watch this movie!

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 Just an indication that the producers didn't bother researching the plot and didn't give a stuff if children learn outdated and dangerous first aid for snake bites.

The positive reviews for this movie are clearly people who work for the film. It's really bad. Fake accents.

Horrible acting. Boring predictable story. Don't bother. Plot:

A broken down ex-rodeo cowboy, Roper, is down on his luck.

He has three weeks to pay three months rent when he reads about the couple of the year in the newspaper, and decides to kidnap the wife, Goodwina for ransom.

Goodie is the sweetest country girl ever, and she married a country boy, only to have him change into a city politician who is sleeping with his assistant.

He mocks her for her country ways. After Roper kidnaps Goodie, They initially hate each other (understandably so), but when Roper calls in for a ransom and her husband tells him that he doesn't want her back, the two have to figure out what to do next, and they fall in love.

Goodie finds that she is more comfortable and happy in the country, and she helps Roper find his self esteem.

In the end, they run off together, ruining her husband's plans to run for Senate, and taking half of their money, since it was in her name.
