About this product

Product Information

Birdee (Sandra Bullock) is an unassuming housewife whose life is disrupted when her husband (Michael Pare) reveals his infidelity to her on a Jerry Springer-style talk show. She goes home to her mother and the small town in which she grew up--where, of course, everyone knows about her televised marital collapse. Things only get worse as a family tragedy brings her ex-husband back for an official divorce. Meanwhile an old friend, Justin (Harry Connick Jr.), has entered her life, sparking a romance. While Justin's intentions are good, Birdee struggles with the decision to let him fully into her life. This 1998 sleeper was a pet project of leading actress Bullock and became a surprise hit, touching the hearts of its viewers.

Feel Good Movie with Emotional Ups and Downs and a Happy Ending
This is one of my favorite movies. I love Sandra Bullock and she is outstanding along with Gena Rowlands and Harry Connick Jr. This is a movie that takes you along a range of emotions from watching Birdy hit bottom on TV, to happy endings with her finding an amazing guy who appreciates her for who she is. Love the quote at the end and know that we need to "just give hope a chance to float up." Don't want to spoil the story, but I bought it so I can watch it over and over - it's that good!!
