" Birdee Pruitt, arrives back in town upon finding out that her husband is having an affair, live on television. Her ex boyfriend, helps her to pick up the pieces, and there still might be love. One of the two films, with Sandra Bullock in it, even with it being a minor success at the box office, critics still didn’t care for the movie. Hope Floats, was nominated for Most Annoying Accent, by The Stinkers."
