The Globe and Mail (Toronto) -
This is a frustrating film that takes its cutesy title way too literally.
|
|
|
The New York Times -
Hope Floats, which often resembles a rosy commercial, does indulge in too much awkward slow motion, and in occasional embarrassing romps that are meant to signify family fun.
|
|
|
L.A. Weekly -
Cloying, unoriginal stuff, rescued -- barely -- by the easy affection that courses between Bullock and Connick Jr., and by the lovely cinematography of Caleb Deschanel.
|
|
|
The New Yorker -
Forest Whitaker directed with a slow, sugary touch -- and, one suspects, an eye toward the home-video market.
|
|
|
Chicago Sun-Times -
A turgid melodrama with the emotional range of a sympathy card.
