Austin Powers may have written that sentence as the title to his film review of Hope floats . a very likeable and talented cast and director are squandered in this mid-line-Hallmark-Hall-Of-Fame . it's always all about the writing my friends and we do indeed "have a floater" . as i reflect back on watching the film with my wife , i wonder , why not just shoot the entire film in slow motion . favorite line of dialogue ? that's too easy . Birdee tells Harry Connick Jr's character about their first kiss as youths , "i ran home and told momma that you'd had a seizure in my mouth" . Forest continues to laugh all the way to the bank . the audience reaction at the beginning of the film alone is false in tone . the crowd would jeer the cheating husband and his lover . why would educated people even consent to go on such a program ? a highly idealized fantasy of the human condition . peopled with the rich and eccentric matriarichal family member . a brilliantly skilled craftsperson who forsakes the compensation of homebuilding as it would sully his passion for his gifts . wonderfully pleasing cinematography . pleasant escapism . probably more so if you like and or love country and western music . this film is often funny . in an unintentional way . it's charms are real enough . provided by that amiable cast . written on a paper towel . deep as a tidepool . not that there is anything particularly wrong with a "light" romantic drama . those kids can really act .Get more detail about Hope Floats.
