Hope Floats (1998)

Cast: Sandra Bullock (Birdee Pruitt), Harry Connick Jr. (Justin Matisse), Gena Rowlands (Romona Calvert), Mae Whitman (Bernice Pruitt), Michael Pare (Bill Pruitt), Cameron Finley (Travis), Kathy Najimy (Toni Post)
For complete cast info, see IMDb's Hope Floats page.

After being dumped on a national TV show (similar to Jerry Springer), Birdee returns to the small town she grew up in and her mother's home to try to piece her life back together. I know this movie got a lot of bad reviews, but I think that if you go into it expecting to get a sweet story about a woman pulling her life together after being publicly humiliated, you'll find it. I really enjoyed this movie. I think the acting is very good and the story is sweet. I'm a sucker for a romantic comedy - even one that includes country music, which is normally not my cup of tea. If you missed this one, consider renting it.

Grade: A-
