My Cup Runneth Over..............,

This has to be one of my very favorite movies and the soundtrack is THE BEST COUNTRY music I have ever heard, and I don't even listen to Country Music LOL in fact I liked the music (and the movie) so much I have purchased both for friends at least twice!!! On to my review.....
Gena Rowlands is Fantastic as the Momma, Harry Connick Jr. is simply charming as the "wanna be" Beau, the actor that played "Travis" was adorable and heartwarming, Bernice (the daughter of Sandra Bullock in the movie) was casted very well she was perfect as a stubborn, hurt and confused little girl trying to deal with the divorce of her Beloved Daddy and her (now seen as the enemy) Momma. Of course I can not leave out Sandra Bullock I was impressed with her ability to portray the hurt and the recovery of a women who has sunk to depression after her husband has found another, a mother that is struggling to keep it together for her child and a daughter that comes home to a town and a Mother that remembers her in a certain light.

Forrest Whitaker did a tremendous job In my Honest Opinion with selecting this cast, creating scenes that make you feel all of what the characters are going through. From the Gena Rowlands character all the way to the children. I can not recommend this movie enough for anyone. Caution.... It's not light, there are some funny moments and there are some very sad moments. It deals with death, infidelity and parents neglecting their children.

I watched this with my 12 year old, she loved it!!! The soundtrack maybe hard to find but do yourself a favor FIND IT!! it is definately worth it. I had to finally find mine on auction sites and it can come pretty pricy brand new/sealed but still if I ever heard something worth the ticket price the soundtrack for this movie is one of them.

Also if you like this type of movie (with pretty much the same subject matter) check out "Something to Talk About" which stars Gena Rowland as the Momma as well.

Sandra Bullock does it again. I don't think she can make
a bad movie. Many of us have gone through a divorce, and
we've seen how badly it hurts our children. This movie gives
us hope that things can be better if we reach out and connect
with others. Definitely worth buying.Read full review...

I love this movie. Even though I bought the tape on eBay, I still watch it everytime its on in my area. The Marshfield News Herald gave it a big one star.
I don't know who does the review for that newspaper but they are 100 per-cent wrong. The acting is just great.Read full review...

Seeing this movie with my mom as a young male teenager.

At the end of the movie when sandra says something along the lines of "something something something and i guess HOPE FLOATS"

Like... that is really how the movie ends, I just wanted to vomit.<br>
The worst ending EVER.

This movie has tramatized me.Read full review...

Awesome movie

Love the movie and love the song "Chances Are". Bob Seger and Martina McBride knock it out of the park. Sandra Bullock is one actress I really admire.

It was an OK movie-not one that I will probably keep. Sandra Bullock and Bruce Willis were both good-story a bit weak!
