Short description
Birdee Pruitt has been humiliated on live television by her best friend, Connie, who's been sleeping with Birdee's husband, Bill. Birdee tries starting over with her daughter, Bernice, by returning to her small Texas hometown, but she's faced with petty old acquaintances who are thrilled to see Birdee unhappy -- except for her friend Justin. As he helps Birdee get back on her feet, love begins to blossom.
What's left behind the scenes
- In the scene where Bill, played by Michael Pare, drives away, leaving Mae Whitman's character in tears, the protagonist was supposed to stay behind to look after the daughter. However, Whitman's performance touched Sandra Bullock so deeply that she walked over to Whitman, picked her up in her arms, and carried her into the house, remaining in character the entire time. This is the take that was included in the film.
- According to director Forest Whitaker, the original script was set in Arkansas, but he changed it to a small town in Texas.
