This movie excites me as it is a Sandra Bullock movie. However, in this movie the worst possible thing that could happen does. Birdee (Bullock) is at a talk show, where her best friend reveals to her that she and Birdee's husband are having an affair, and he now wants to be with her. Birdee goes home, and confronts her humiliation. Birdee's mother (Gena Rowlands) is determined to get her daughter up off the floor by reintroducing her to an old friend Justin Matisse (Harry Connick Jr.). The focus of the film is the change in the family relationship. One of the most touching aspects is when Birdee explains to her mother what she liked about her husband.
The movie ends with not everything resolved, but with Hope beginning to float after a long winter. I like Bullock, and Connick is also very good. A movie like this is built on relationships. It makes you want to scream to see a family destroyed due to some selfishness. However, family lives own.
