This has all the parts of a good country song. It was light hearted and humerous, had deception, good guys, bad guys and a truck. The only thing missing was a dog ( but there was chickens....does that count ).
It is an entertaining easy going story to watch. The beautiful scenery will tug at your heart, almost as much as the couples hungry low simmering romance.
This is a story that can be watched many times and still enjoy.
A very good escape from the usual blood, guts and gore.
I'm going to buy it!

This film is so down to earth - funny, touching, sad, hopeful, musical, beautifully photographed by Gene Engels, and very real. The 2 lead performances by Mark Collie and Coley McCabe are really outstanding - and they wrote and perform like 6 original country songs, plus there's a classic Steve Earle song in the movie, too. If you're a real American sick of the twisted studio crap, ALABAMA LOVE STORY is so worth your time. Curl up with your honey and you'll be in for a real treat. The director, Terry Moloney, is someone to watch - this is his firsat feature film, and I read somewhere that he replaced the original director just three days before filming began. If a director can achieve what this guy did with only 3 days prep, then the major studios should be hunting Moloney down. Imagine what he could do with a bigger budget and some actual prep time! This is the sleeper indy film of 2004. This movie is a country version of my Big Fat Greek Wedding. I can't recommend ALABAMA LOVE STORY any higher - 5 stars out of 5!!!

Mark Collie is my favorite country singer of all time, but when it comes to acting, he falls a bit short. Actually, all of the actors in this film could benefit from some acting lessons. Coley McCabe has a beautiful singing voice and I'm not sure why she's never made it on the country music scene, but she endears herself to the viewer and ultimately plays the kind of character everyone would love to have for a friend. I give this story a 4 star rating based on the storyline. It's a very sweet, feel good kind of movie with a little bit of humor thrown in. This balances out the lack of acting ability. It's a movie that I've enjoyed viewing several times.

Want to view a very enjoyable movie to make you warm all over and laugh then Alabmam Love Story is the movie. I thought Mark Collie and Coley McCabe's performance was just fantastic. A story that some of us wish were ours. Roper was not a kidnapper in his heart but circumstances left him few choices, so he thought until Goodie showed him what was really in his heart (His love for her). He also showed her that she could have the warm love she wanted from a gentle hearted man. All they had to do was reach out for it and not settle for what was. I would like to have seen a soundtract or at least recordings of the music as I thought that it was super country music. And the fact Mark Collie and Coley McCabe wrote and performed these songs made it so enjoyable. I have watched it several times and plan to watch it a lot more. I recommend it very highly.

Bought this because of the title. Like that it was set in Tuscaloosa. Was not quite what I expected, but it was still sort of cute.

Love this movie! Where's the Soundtrack? I want to buy it please!?!
Can anyone help me find the music from this movie?

I usually love anything to do with Alabama; however, this was definitely a "B" rated movie. The acting was not very good and the story line was so-so. I'm sure I won't be watching it again, I'll be trying to give it away.

Let me say that I like this movie very much. While it is far fetched, it still has a wonderful charm to it. It would particularly help if you are a Mark Collie or Coley McCabe fan, (I love Mark Collie, he is such an under appreciated talent ) however, it is not a requirement. If you go for sweet simple romance, you will enjoy this movie. That being said...

Does anyone have any idea where a sound track or the songs from the movie can be found!? The songs are absolutely wonderful and add a great deal to the movie. I would love to have complete versions of them and can't find them anywhere. I know that most of the songs were written jointly by Collie and Coley who were at one time married. I just can't understand why such great songs are not on some CD somewhere. If anyone has any information, please let me know.

Thanks.

I will not be watching this movie again. The acting was not very good.
