Forest Whitaker gives us a nice taste of his slow the camera talents with his direction of this touching and romantic feel noble film. He has assembled a terrific cast including the charming Sandra Bullock,the irresistable Harry Connick Jr.,and the always fabulous Gena Rowlands. Add to that a fable that will touch you with it’s character’s strength, humor and loving bonds of family by Steven Rogers, a soundtrack you’ll want to hear over and over and terrific photogrpahy and you’ve got yourself a sizable recipe for a appetizing movie rupture.

Devasted, humiliated on national T.V., and feeling all is lost, she packs up herself and her daughter and beats a retreat attend to Smithville. The road benefit to self-esteem is a long one for Birdie, as she shuts herself off from life and fancy and must deal with readjusting to a fresh life.
Sandra Bullock will warm your heart as she learns to begin hers again. Harry Connick Jr. will withhold you smiling, as the childhood friend who has always loved her, and tries to breakdown Birdie’s walls. And Gena Rowlands is perfect as the mother who won’t let her child give up. Bernice, Birdie’s young daughter is played brillantly by the young Mae Whitman and will evoke a lump in your throat as the child of divorce. Lots of mountainous music including songs by Sheryl Crow, Bryan Adams and a pretty rendition of “Smile” by Charles Chaplin, added to a absorbing earn by Dave Grusin,are all objective the legal touches to this heartwarming myth.
The DVD is an suited presentation. The relate in widescreen(1.85:1) is very honorable with nice colors.The Sound in Dolby Dig 5.1 surrounds the room nicely.It may be viewed in French(stereo) and has subtitles in English and Spanish for those needing them. There are no other special features though.
If you’re in need of a tiny pick-me-up, this is the film to do it. A feel top-notch movie that’s romantic, poignant and comical, will leave you appreciating all that you already have, and with a smile as well.
enjoy…..Laurie

What an obliging movie about how difficult it is to go home. Birdie Pruitt was what every girl dreams of being in high school - the cheerleader, beauty queen, and married to her sweetheart. When her husband leaves her for none other than her best friend, Birdie comes home to launch her life again. For some, it is nice to have her home, but for others, they esteem throwing her failures in her face.
