I believe the film to be "Sweet Home Alabama," starring Reese Witherspoon, Candace Bergen and Patrick Dempsey. Our informer was unclear of the name of the film, but knew that it had "Alabama" in the title, and had a familiar theme to it. So, considering the fact that one of the filming locations for "Sweet" is in Atlanta and is currently wrapping production, this is most likely the film she is referring to.

The film is about a young woman, Melanie, from a "white trash" background who runs away from her husband in Alabama and reinvents herself as a New York socialite. When her Park Avenue boyfriend, whose mother is the mayor of New York City, proposes marriage, she returns home to tell her parents the good news and obtain a divorce from her husband. In doing so, she is confronted with her past and must choose between the men.

Thanks to our "Secret Source" for the update.
