Read MoreCollapse

(1998) Where's the worst situation in which to discover that your partner has been cheating on you? Birdee Pruitt (Sandra Bullock) finds out her husband Bill (Michael Pare) has been having an affair with her best friend when they all take part in a daytime chat show. Humiliated, she leaves Chicago for her small home town, where all her old friends and neighbours have seen the show and are revelling in her downfall from once high-and-mighty prom queen. Except for Justin Matisse (Harry Connick Jnr), an ex-school friend who has secretly carried a torch for her for years. Forest Whitaker's moving film charts Birdee's emotional fall and rise, with Gena Rowlands as her mother providing the salty voice of reality, and Mae Whitman as her feisty daughter Bernice. Premiere.
