She immediately confronts her errant hubby, setting the town gossips' tongues wagging, and moves back in with her wealthy parents, provoking reactions from her imperious dad (Robert Duvall), who believes that a wife's duty is to stand by her man, and her sarcastic sister, Emma Rae (Kyra Sedgwick), who thinks that the bum got what he deserved. Soon Grace has caused a town scandal by openly questioning anyone who may have had an affair with Eddie and also starts to unearth problems in her parents' relationship. The film is ultimately a story about women who attempt reconciliation with their cheating spouses by exploring a new set of rules on their own terms. The screenplay is by Callie Khouri, the Academy Award- winning screenwriter of THELMA AND LOUISE.

Report this review Review created: 02/18/08 by: Bought this as a gift for my wife for valentine's day it's one of her favorites & I don't mind watching it with her. Just the right mixture of drama & comedy, as not to be a total chick flick! Good performances by Julia Roberts, Denis Quaid, Kira Sedgwick, Robert Duval & Gina Rowlands.
