This time, Witherspoon plays Melanie, a trailer trash expat who reinvents herself as a New York fashionista. Her blue-blooded boyfriend (Patrick Dempsey) rents out Tiffany’s to propose to her, but there’s just one little bit of unfinished business: she’s still married to her high school sweetheart.
