Summary: 5 Stars
I saw Hope Floats when it was released in theaters back in 98(?) I deeply connected to this movie because I was in a very unhappy first marriage to my high school sweetheart, i was 25 and had a young daughter. This movie made me realize that I could NOT be the only one in my marriage to make it work. I realized that it was unhealthy, and it was time for me to move on with my life, and that wasnt a bad thing. So basically, this movie gave me the strength and insight to move on. I think this movie depicted very acurately the stages of grief that i went through while my marriage was breaking apart. I still think this is one of Sandra Bullock's best films. I loved every actor in this movie. Harry Connick was sensational, Gena Rowland is perfect, and the little girl who played Bernice did exceptionally well. The scene where she wants to go with her dad was sooo well acted, I couldnt believe this was a child acting.
This will forever be one of my favorite movies because it paralled my life when it came out. And a year after watching this movie, I met MY Justin Matice(Harry Connick)! The soundtrack is great too, by the way.

Hope Floats is an good ole fashioned love story that touches your heart. It addresses the age old issues of how to truly love someone, what it means, and even what it looks like. Make sure you have tissues close, this is a tear jerker!DVD Review: Hope Floats

Description of Hope Floats
Birdee Pruitt (Bullock) has a life most people would envy. But when her cheating husband reveals infidelity to her on a national TV talk show, her perfect life comes crashing down. Devastated, Birdee and her young daughter head home to the small town she left behind. As mother and daughter struggle to adjust to their new lives, Birdee slowly gains the strength to open her heart and find hope again.Cute-as-a-button Sandra Bullock is a homemaker who learns that her husband and best friend are having an affair. The so-called best friend reveals this information on a national chat show, leaving Bullock devastated and disgraced. Heading back to her small hometown in Texas, she seeks refuge with her eccentric mother. Laconic Harry Connick Jr., a former high-school classmate, attempts to bring Bullock out of her depression and win her heart. He has, you see, been carrying a torch for her since they were kids.
You will not need a crystal ball to see where this is going. It works as a middling romance, but is an annoying waste of potential. The script has much to say about finding your true identity, but does so with all the sentimentality and depth of a Hallmark card. --Rochelle O'Gorman
