Chick Flick Tuesday: Hope Floats

Posted By Danielle on October 12th, 2010

Chick Flick Tuesday highlights the best chick flicks in the movie world as well as bringing you news on upcoming chick flick releases as well as letting you all know about which chick lit books are being made into chick flick movies!

Without a doubt one of my favorite Sandra Bullock movies, in fact it may have been the first I’d ever seen. The story of Birdee being destroyed on national television by her best friend and husband, in front of her daughter no less, is awful. But it’s her story and how she overcomes the tragedy of losing everything except for what truly matters most that touches your heart. In the end she’s able to find hope again with a little help from Justin Matisse, played by hunky co-star Harry Connick Jr. A truly delightful and uplifting movie.

“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.”

I Love this movie, and will watch it whenever it is on tv. Did you know that in the scene toward the end, when Dad drives away from daughter, and she freaks out crying - it was not in the script for Sandra Bullock to walk down and pick the little girl up, but she got so into the scene with hysterics, that Sandra couldn’t NOT go hug her!
