One of my favorite movies about a woman no longer married who ups stakes to unexpectedly move in with well meaning,overbearing mom who inadvertently smothers her until a local fella she would never have given a second look at when she was younger melts her heart and awakens her is HOPE FLOATS. This movie is yet another rehash of he same premise with the great Blythe Danner taking the mom role played by the great Gena Rowlands in HOPE FLOATS, a moving, enticing, thrilling performance by both. I am not sure the fine performances of the heroine initially depressed woman and the soon to be object of her affection in any way measure up to the incredible, heartwarming thrilling performances early given in HOPE FLOATS given by the great Sandra Bullock and the great Harry Connick, Jr. All in all a well photographed, well edited, well dialogued umpteenth rehash of, in some ways perhaps even parts of Bette Davis' 1940's megahit, DARK VICTORY. An enjoyable example of its genre without being one of the best of what is still available today on home listening through DVD.
