Storyline

Birdee Pruitt has been humiliated on live television by her best friend, Connie, who's been sleeping with Birdee's husband, Bill. Birdee tries starting over with her daughter, Bernice, by returning to her small Texas hometown, but she's faced with petty old acquaintances who are thrilled to see Birdee unhappy -- except for her friend Justin. As he helps Birdee get back on her feet, love begins to blossom.

Critics consensus

“Hope Floats sinks under a deluge of melodramatic turns and syrupy sentimentality, although Sandra Bullock remains a winning star.”

RTIndependent (UK)Mar 29, 2019

A winsome piece that turns a loving eye on Sandra Bullock as a down-in-the-dumps ex-beauty queen.

R

Roger Ebert

RTChicago Sun-TimesJan 1, 2000

This material could obviously lead in a lot of different directions. It seems most promising as comedy or satire, but no: Hope Floats is a turgid melodrama with the emotional range of a sympathy card.

RTCommon Sense MediaJan 1, 2011

Redemptive drama ready made for family viewing.

... just horrible, horrible, horrible.
