Eine zweite Chance: Directed by Forest Whitaker. With Sandra Bullock, Harry Connick Jr., Gena Rowlands, Mae Whitman. Birdee Calvert must choose between her morals and her heart after her husband divorces her and a charming young man, who her daughter disapproves of, comes back into her life.

“u0026quot;Hope Floatsu0026quot; is too dramatic to be a romantic comedy. Itu0026#39;s more of a character drama about Birdee (Sandra Bullock) moving back home and the main story line being a romance with Harry Connick Jr.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBirdee, and the film, are very down-to-earth. Although she lived in Chicago, sheu0026#39;s much more suited to the small-town life that she grew up in in Texas. They donu0026#39;t go for much of the obvious comedy of big-city girl versus small-town country girl. And thatu0026#39;s a good thing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe young daughter can get annoying, and the romantic comedy angle is transparent from the beginning. But the natural drama that Birdee goes through in trying to rebuild her life after a public divorce is done well enough that it makes u0026quot;Hope Floatsu0026quot; worth watching.”
