	HOPE FLOATS
		HOPE FLOATS is a film in the same vein, though it never taps the strength of character needed to be truly entrancing.
		Sure, life didn't exactly turn out like she hoped, but instead of watching a woman get back on the horse and turn her situation around we're forced to stand by while she retreats from life.
		However, the main hope it instilled in me was one for the end.

	Hope Floats (1998): Reviews
		Hope Floats, which often resembles a rosy commercial, does indulge in too much awkward slow motion, and in occasional embarrassing romps that are meant to signify family fun.
		Floats is corny and false, with a script by Steven Rogers that's almost 100 percent artificial sweetener.
		Hope Floats comes lumbering along, scourging all in its path with saccharine sentimentality and bogus emotions.

	CNN - Review: Bullock makes 'Hope' float - May 29, 1998
		The movie is "Hope Floats," and while it may not float very high, it is definitely Bullock at her best.
		"Hope Floats" opens with our heroine, Birdee, played by Bullock, learning while on a sleazy talk show that her no-good husband is cheating on her with her best friend (a cameo appearance by Rosanna Arquette).
		With "Hope Floats," nothing is tied up with a neat little bow, and there are ragged emotional edges -- just as in real life.

	LIGHT VIEWS FILM REVIEW: HOPE FLOATS/HORSE WHISPERER (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		"Hope Floats," starring Sandra Bullock, and "The Horse Whisperer," with Robert Redford and Kristin Scott Thomas, are prime examples.
		In "Hope Floats," Bullock plays one of those well-tempered mothers who learns on national television that her husband and best friend are having an affair.
		There's some whimsy and sharp lines in "Hope Floats," but the premise is lightweight and uneventful.

		I'd recommend it for light comedy/drama lovers and Sandra Bullock fans, but not for people expecting a fast paced, tightly woven drama.
		"Hope Floats" could've been much better if it concentrated on one or two of the many angles it presented.

	Review: Hope Floats (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		That's the way it is with Hope Floats, an insipid, stillborn drama that drags its viewers through a ghetto of despair before finally, unexpectedly plopping them down in the midst of a happy ending.
		During the course of the proceedings, we are treated to numerous cliches of the genre, including a depressed person who shows the depth of her despondency by walking around aimlessly in a downpour and an elderly lady who cures all of her granddaughter's woes with one wise bedtime story.
		Hope Floats is rambling, uneven, and inexcusably long for a motion picture that develops such a poor emotional connection with the lead character.

		Hope Floats, Sandra Bullock's new romantic drama, is an entertaining feel-good film.
		She plays Birdee, a mother and former prom queen, who returns to her small Texas hometown after she discovers that her husband is cheating on her on a Jerry Springer type TV show.
		Hope Floats works well because the characters are unusual, well defined and very interesting.

		The float generally held up as an example in Quattrone’s case is that of VA LINUX.
		And although the vendors of the company want top dollar, they are often advised to leave something in the float for the investors, in order to maintain their company’s credibility as one with share-price growth prospects.
		But the psychology of the market towards the company in the long term means most floats are priced with the intention of leaving a short-term gain for investors.

	All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: Hope Floats
		Sandra Bullock has laid low since her natural charm was snuffed in last years megabomb, "Speed 2: Cruise Control," which even she conceded was a "stinker." Bullock doesn't have a great deal of range as an actor, but "Hope Floats" plays to her strengths and she comes off smelling like a rose.
		The best moments in "Hope Floats" are the little ones; a showdown between the daughter and a pudgy school bully, a gentle, but frank discussion with a spiteful employment agent, and a very nice moment when Connick explains why he does woodworking as a hobby instead of a full-time job.
		In the vast realm of chick flicks, "Hope Floats" is a minor pleasure.

		Yet everybody is deeply reluctant to confront the US directly, since that would just hasten the collapse of the multilateral order they still hope to save.
		In fact, although Ukraine still has no promises from the EU, the popular hope that it might eventually become an EU member provided much fuel for the demonstrations in late November and early December that undid a rigged election, unseated a corrupt post-communist oligarchy, and set the country on the road to democracy.
		We hear far less about the miraculous recovery of the Argentine economy, about the remarkable progress that the Brazilian president, Luis Inacio “Lula” da Silva, has made in shifting resources towards the poor while building Brazil’s influence abroad, and about the South American Union that was launched in Ayacucho early this month.

		Hope Floats, the recent film starring Sandra Bullock, is similar to Saucy Jack's victims in one respect: it knows it's dying, but continues to struggle.
		Hope Floats also hits upon one of my big pet peeves: beautiful actresses playing characters who think they're ugly.
		Hope Floats is by-the-book screenwriting, created strictly for the lowest common denominator, and I can't imagine anyone even remotely film-savvy enjoying it.

		``Hope Floats'' begins with a talk show where a woman learns that her husband and her best friend are having an affair.
		It seems most promising as comedy or satire, but no: ``Hope Floats'' is a turgid melodrama with the emotional range of a sympathy card.
		``Hope Floats'' was written by Steven Rogers and directed by Forest Whitaker (``Waiting to Exhale'').

		Nonetheless before I went to bed, I still prayed to St. Therese hoping for a very small miracle to happen.
		I've moved on from yesterday's unfortunate events and I was prepared to patiently finish everything today.

	TomDispatch - Tomgram: Rebecca Solnit on Thoreau and dissent
		Sometimes one person inspires a movement, or her words do decades later; sometimes a few passionate people change the world; sometimes they start a mass movement and millions do; sometimes those millions are stirred by the same outrage or the same ideal and change comes upon us like a change of weather.
		I was struck recently that Howard Zinn, another historian of hope from a previous generation (but whose voice is today as lively and passionate as ever), had much in common with Solnit.
		Not so long ago, for instance, he penned a reconsideration of the political writings of Thoreau that began with a wonderful tale of how he testified in 1968 at a Milwaukee trial of nuns, priests, and laypeople who had busted into a draft board and burned its records.

	Hope Floats . Nashville Scene . 06-15-98
		Hope Floats opens with a biting piece of satire--a Ricki Lake-esque talk show on which Sandra Bullock is informed that her husband has been sleeping with her best friend.
		Directed competently, if not especially stylishly, by Forest Whitaker, Hope Floats is routine soaper material, and the attempts at "eccentric" local color--a taxidermist mother (Gena Rowlands) who talks in aphorisms, a boy who likes to dress up as animals--play like they were ripped from the script of a failed sitcom pilot.
		Also, the movie hinges on a spurious premise: that people secretly hope for the comeuppance of their more popular high-school classmates (as if anyone still thinks about them at all).

		Hope Floats was a great movie...Gave you laughs and it made you cry...My parents are going through a divorce so I could relate to the storyline...I think it was great to see...Some language but it was good!
		I just hope there were some fathers sitting in the audience who had also left God's will and abandoned their families.

	HOPE FLOATS
		Essentially a supped up, big screen version of a standard made for TV movie, "Hope Floats" — actress Sandra Bullock's latest starring vehicle -- has a few entertaining and touching moments, but otherwise comes off as a lackluster, slow-moving feature.
		While this movie ultimately does show that hope does indeed float, that notion comes as a near tack-on ending and is preceded by a volley of melodramatic moments intended to make women weep and moisten the eyes of even the manliest of men, but surprisingly don't do so.
		To us, it's just too bad that the film becomes so sullen in the second half and that so many stereotypical moments and characteristics permeate the script, all of which ultimately keep the picture from becoming anything more than a high profile, made for TV movie.
