Summary: If you like romance, you will like this movie
Review: This is one of the sweetest romances, you will ever see. It has several moments that are spectacular, such as when Gena Rowlands and Sandra Bullock allow the grandson to act out his feelings while wearing various costumes, and no one look at him strangely. Harry Connick Jr. is so fine, and when he dances with Sandra, it is deceptively sexual because of its innocence. Although I have seen the movie several times and also purchased the soundtrack which is very good, the scene when Bernice and her father have a confrontation still makes me misty.

Summary: Beautiful film
Review: Forest Whitaker did a wonderful job in illustrating how each of us handles the good and not-so-good things that come our way; and no matter how much we strive to be different from our parents, we somehow end up picking up parts of them anyway. The good part about the film is the performance by Gena Rowlands. What a diverse actress she is, and her portrayal of a woman who loves but shows it in detached ways is credible.As for the "real" portion, having been through some of the life situations, I was pleased that they weren't undermined nor catastrophized. What a pleasant surprise. It's definitely a feel-good movie, and one that can break your heart for so many reasons. It is a beautifully crafted film, from the music to the cinematography. And a surprising performance by Harry Connick, Jr.

Summary: touching. . .
Review: this movie will be dismissed by many at chick flick..., but it's actually worth seeing if you're a Bullock fan, and definately if you're a Harry Connick Jr. fan. It's about a woman who lived a storybook life (head cheerleader who marries her high school sweetheart) until she's left by him for her best friend on national television. She returns home to her eccentric taxidermist mother to date the man who loved her in high school. The scenes were she tries to find a job and reconcile with the people in her past are particularly good, and the scene between her daughter and her ex husband was very emotional. This is a good movie about surving heartbreak, and going home again. I recommend it.

Summary: A Typical Scenario for Many Who Experience Early Prestige
Review: The South especially is full of women like Birdie Calvert, who marry early and then have it work out badly. The portrayal of small-town life and the grudges about incidents, either real or imagined, that people tend to hold is well done in this movie. It strikes a chord with me especially because I can identify with having to leave a beautiful pink brick house in one state to live in a rather weather beaten one in a rather hostile environment in Texas. My experience came complete with a bullying female schoolmate like Big Dolores....But in the confrontation scene between Birdie and Dot, we get a hint of what might one day happen between Bernice and Dolores .... Gena Rowlands and Harry Connick Jr.portray characters with a lot of warmth as they help Birdie and her daughter deal with having to rebuild their lives. The potrayal of Birdie's wayward and weak-willed husband is admirable,too. People can relate to this film at different levels. For many, it could serve as a warning against early marriages and the need to focus on higher education before marriage, which could have afforded Birdie a better job once she had to find one for herself, and considering how Birdie had to face those she had once tormented after being humiliated on national television, we see how the following adage still rings true:"Be nice to people you meet on your way up because you may have to deal with them again on your way down."

Summary: The perfect couple meet at the most imperfect time
Review: Sandra Bullock plays a former beauty queen whose life is about to fall apart on national television. She has to pick up the pieces of her life and move back to the small town she considers home. She arrives to find her mother is still playing match maker, while she really just wants to have a major depressional breakdown. You'll find yourself rooting for Harry Connick Jr as he struggles to show he can offer her hope of a better tomorrow. You'll love all the stars of this show, except Bill and his girlfriend.

Summary: OK but could have been better
Review: Sandra Bullock is in this movie which automatically makes it worth watching. I guess the thing that bugs me is that nobody wants to let "Birdie" (Sandra's character) and her daughter heal on their own and find her place as a single mother. Her mother immediately pushes "Justin" (Harry Connick's character) on Birdie, and does so relentlessly throughout the movie, despite Birdie's reluctance. Justin comes off as a too-persistent cornball. At one point in the movie, Birdie's mother even chastises Birdie for not snatching Justin while she can, saying that she only has so many "chances". I found that pretty pathetic. Of course it had a happy ending which is good, but I just think they should have let Birdie be Birdie!

Summary: Wonderful, Heartfelt Drama
Review: I love this movie. The actors were terrific, as was the script and soundtrack. Each of the characters has a lot of depth and humanity, and I think a lot of women can relate to what Berdie goes through - the feeling of having lost yourself and your identity somewhere along the way. I had never been an especially big fan of Sandra Bullock until I stumbled upon this movie at a yard sale. I'm from a small town in Texas and have also lost a parent to Alzheimer's, and I thought this movie was very realistic. I think some people may have been dissappointed in Hope Floats because they were expecting it to be a comedy or have more action. It is drama and if you don't like dramas, you're not going to like this movie. I found Hope Floats to be very uplifting though. The mother-daughter and father-daughter relationships were so touching and painful and real. Hope Floats is a wonderful movie that celebrates the power of love and family.

Summary: Great Movie
Review: Sandra is by far one of my favorite actresses and she once again does a great job in Hope Floats. This movie is about a woman who is humiliated, has her heart broken and loses the life shes known all on one talk show. Sandra takes the hard journey of moving on. Going back to where she grew up was the best option but not a easy one. Every one she knows saw the talk show and knows exactly what she had just went through. Some were old friends and others not so friendly, but now Sandra has to pick up the pieces and move on even if she falls out of a old love and into a new one. Great movie, great love story and a close look at how life hurts when everything changes.

Summary: The worst movie that we've seen!
Review: This movie is absolutely awful. Just meanders and mopes along. No plot, no suspense. Do not waste your time seeing this movie. Harry Connick comes across as a stalker.
