Plot (from Amazon.com):
Cute-as-a-button Sandra Bullock is a homemaker who
learns that her husband and best friend are having an affair. The
so-called best friend reveals this information on a national chat
show, leaving Bullock devastated and disgraced. Heading back to her
small hometown in Texas, she seeks refuge with her eccentric mother.
Laconic Harry Connick Jr., a former
high-school classmate, attempts to bring Bullock out of her
depression and win her heart. He has, you see, been carrying a torch
for her since they were kids.
You will not need a crystal ball to see where this
is going. It works as a middling romance, but is an annoying waste of
potential. The script has much to say about finding your true
identity, but does so with all the sentimentality and depth of a
Hallmark card. --Rochelle O'Gorman |
