Never Give Up Hope

In 1998 Sandra Bullock starred in the movie Hope Floats. In this movie Birdee (Sandra Bullock) finds out that her husband is having an affair with her best friend, Connie. When she finds out about the affair, leaves her husband, and moves back to her old town. When she moves back to town, everyone knows what had happened to her. The town’s people just rub the affair in her face. The one person that is there for her is an old time friend Justin. Justin tries to help her through this difficult time, but he is still in love with her from high school. With the help from Justin, Birdee is able to overcome her difficult time and get back on track with her life.
When it felt like her life was falling apart, Birdee returns home to get over everything that is happening. She has to overcome the affair her husband is having, but also the entire town; that won’t stay out of her business. I would definitely recommend this movie. This movie shows how even if you fill you are hitting rock bottom, there is always hope!

In a panic she tells everyone that she and her assistant are engaged. Her assistant does not like her, but agrees to marry her, as long as she gives him a book editor position. Her assistant is off to Alaska for his grandmother’s birthday, so she comes along to make everyone believe that they are truly in love. In Alaska, these two actually start to fall in love with one another. On the day of their wedding, Sandra Bullock decides that she doesn’t want to get her assistant in trouble so she leaves him at the altar. In the end, they do get together and live happily ever after.
Sandra’s character in this movie is a strong and determined woman. She wants to be the best at everything, and not let anything get in the way. Within time she lets her guard down around her assistant, so she is becoming more lovable to him. In the end her character has a better atmosphere around her, so more people want to be around her. This movie is excellent and makes me laugh every time.
