Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Though it follows a standard movie formula and predictable plot twists, the film Hope Floats is saved in part by the above-average performance of Sandra Bullock, portraying a separated woman who finds her way back to her hometown in Texas, daughter in tow. The soundtrack seems to follow in due course, a collection of country and rock (thanks to the Rolling Stones) acts adding shades of twang to songs that, for the most part, all sound fairly familiar. The duds of the bunch, Bryan Adams's "When You Love Someone" and Sheryl Crow's "In Need", are saved in large part by some surprise keepers, courtesy of Garth Brooks, the Mavericks, and Gillian Welch. The covers are interesting enough. Brooks' take on Dylan's "To Make You Feel My Love" is modest and pithy and a far cry from the overblown Trisha Yearwood performance of the same tune that codas the collection. --Jason Verlinde

4.0 out of 5 stars SANDRA BULLOCK CHARMS...HARRY CONNICK, JR. SIZZLES..., 13 Jan 2003
By Lawyeraau (Balmoral Castle) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Hope Floats [DVD] [1998] (VHS Tape)
Forest Whitaker's directorial efforts pay off, as he presents the viewer with a solid, though predictable, romance. The ever charming and coltish Sandra Bullock gives a strong performance as Birdie Pruitt, who has just found out on national television that her husband Bill is having an affair with her erstwhile best friend, Connie. Shocked, she is left to cope with this very public betrayal.

Birdie takes their daughter, Bernice, and leaves her husband, returning to her small town roots in Smithville, Texas, where her mom, an eccentric but lovely lady, wonderfully played by Gena Rowlands, still lives. As a teenager, Birdie had been a big fish in a small pond, a popular high school cheerleader who had ended up marrying the high school star quarterback, Queen of Corn three years running, and the envy of most of the young women with whom she grew up. She now finds herself returning home with her tail between her legs, her fairy tale life having taken a decided nosedive.

While home, some of those who remember her manage to get their digs in. One person, however, a sensitive and sensual good ol' boy, Justin Matisse, played to sexy perfection by Harry Connick, Jr., remembers her with fond affection, as he has loved her since they were in high school. He is there, just waiting to pick up the pieces.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful romantic drama, 14 Sep 2005
By Francisco "hifranc" (Newcastle upon Tyne, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Hope Floats [1998] [DVD] (DVD)
Birdee is invited on a talk show and then her best friend tells her that she's having an affair with her husband. After the show Birdee moves with her daughter, Bernice, back to her mother's house (which is situated in a small town). Her father is ill (we find out more about that later). Bernice's cousin, Travis, is also staying at there.

From very early on Justin tries to woo her (with a lot of unsubtle hints from her mother).

It's Birdee's story and follows her as she deals with the aftermath of her marriage collapsing. It's also about Birdee's relationships with her family (especially her mother and her daughter) and others.

What I loved about the film was the fact that it was character driven and the characters are 3 dimensional (at least the main ones are). The whole thing feels real and, therefore, is more touching. I had tears rolling down my cheeks watching it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A poignant, bitter-sweet, tear-jerker with a hint of comedy., 24 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Hope Floats [DVD] [1998] (VHS Tape)
I first saw this film when it was shown at the Odean in Holloway Road, London. I was captivated from the first opening scenes and spent most of the film with a lump in my throat, determined not to cry, although I did shed a few silent tears (I drew the line at sobbing - public displays are not my thing!). The acting was superb and it had great atmospheric conotations. Harry Connick Jnr. took me by surprise as the romantic lead and I would just like to say that he has gone up in my estimations for sheer sex appeal alone! Brilliant film for a girlie night in! Box of tissues, bag of tortilla chips with dip, chocolates and some beer. Sorted!
