Every scene looked like a post card. I think they spent too much time making the scenes look pretty and not enough on the story itself. You had to try to make it halfway through the movie before you even cared... Full review

I really shouldn't like this movie but I do. The acting and soundtrack saved this movie for me. Sandra Bullock and Harry Connick Jr. were fantastic to watch and the music was a delight to listen to. Otherwise, this movie severely... Full review

The movie also falls woefully into formula when, as Romance 101 dictates, the relationship between Birdee and Justin is difficult at the beginning. As the pleasant family drama "Hope Floats" moves along, you begin to wonder why it was made. ... Full Review

San Francisco Chronicle
Much of the emotional heart of ``Hope Floats'' depends on viewers developing sympathy for a little girl whose parents are divorcing. Connick, likable as usual, plays Justin, a local handyman, who wasn't suave enough to rate with Birdee back in high school. ... Full Review

Hope Floats," which fortunately does pull together for a strong finish, is nevertheless a real plus for Bullock, who served as the film's co-executive producer. Even so, "Hope Floats" gives good value, starting with Bullock's and Rowlands' knockout performances. ... Full Review
