Romcoms get us dreaming about our wedding day, but what happens when you’re secretly married to your Southerner childhood best friend? That’s exactly what happens to Melanie (played by Reese Witherspoon), a successful New York fashion designer.

In order to be able to walk down the aisle to her new beau, she must head back to her hometown in Alabama to divorce her estranged husband, but things don’t go quite as smoothly as she thought they would.

The story features two witch sisters, Sally and Gillian, who don’t have a lot in common except for an unlucky curse they must get rid of. The obstacles? An obsessive ex-boyfriend, law enforcement, and a whole lot of supernatural occurrences.

We all want to spend Thanksgiving with our families, but it’s not so easy when you find yourself on a totally different side of the country. Eager to return in time for the feast, Neal goes through a series of unfortunate (and often hilarious) events to make his way back home.

Along the way, he meets Del, who is on a similar mission to get back to his own family.
