Ends 07/31/13. Attentive wife, dutiful daughter, loving mother. Julia Roberts plays these roles perfectly...until she discovers her husband is having an affair. Unwilling to suffer in silence, she rebels against every aspect of her sedate southern life, from her ladies' club committee to the overbearing father (Robert Duvall) who keeps her under his thumb.

Academy Award and Golden Globe-winner and Emmy-nominee Julia Roberts ("Ocean's Eleven," "Erin Brockovich") stars as Grace, a contemporary Southern wife and mother with the "perfect life." She works for her parents' horse breeding farm, volunteers for the local charity league, and generally speaking, does all the things expected of her by her family and friends. But when she learns that her husband has been unfaithful, Grace suddenly steps back and examines her hustle-and-bustle life from a new perspective, giving her small-town neighbors "something to talk about." For the first time she asks herself what she wants from her life.

Three high school buddies decide to stage a gangland-style shooting in front of the local bank. Little do they know that their prank is about to send them on a dramatic collision course with Rusty (Rourke) and Leon (Baldwin), two cold-blooded criminals who are planning a robbery with the help of the bank's loan officer. In a case of mistaken identity, Leon is accidentally abducted by two of the teenagers, while the other falls in to the murderous hands of Rusty who forces him to carry out the bank heist.
