Crazy in Alabama

It’s the summer of 1965, and a backwoods Alabama boy named Peejoe (Lucas Black) – short for Peter Joseph – is about to get a fast education in grown-up matters like freedom. The catalyst will be the most unlikely of sources-his glamorous, eccentric Aunt Lucille (Melanie Griffith), who escapes from her husband’s clutches and takes off for Hollywood to pursue her dreams of TV stardom. In the midst of her journey to assert her own independence, she will be an unlikely catalyst for an unforgettable summer for her nephew Peejoe, a backwoods Alabama boy who is about to get a fast education in grown-up matters like personal freedom, women’s rights and racial prejudice.
