Hope Floats

Hope Floats

1998

Young mother Sandra Bullock returns to her Texas hometown after learning (on national television) that her husband has been unfaithful. Humiliated, Bullock tries to build a new life for herself and her lonely daughter. Bullock's mother (the great Gena Rowlands) plays matchmaker with a local nice guy (Harry Connick Jr.). But will good intentions and bad timing spoil a potentially great match?

When life fell apart, love fell into place.
