<P> The final scene shows Birdee, Justin, Bernice, and Travis at a big town event . Birdee has now taken full custody of Travis and is also dating Justin, but she's still not planning on getting married again for a really long time . Bernice welcomes Smithville as her new hometown, ultimately accepts Bill's departure from her life as a full - time parent, and begins to accept Justin as her mother's new love interest and a father figure . She and Birdee are much closer because of everything they've been through, as Bernice finally realizes it wasn't her mother's fault that her father left them and that Birdee really did love her . They share a tender, yet humorous moment when Bernice asks Birdee if she's going to marry Justin . When Birdee asks her if she doesn't like Justin, Bernice says her only real concern is being known as "Bernice Matisse". </P> <Ul> <Li> Sandra Bullock as Birdee Pruitt </Li> <Li> Harry Connick Jr. as Justin Matisse </Li> <Li> Gena Rowlands as Ramona Calvert </Li> <Li> Mae Whitman as Bernice Pruitt </Li> <Li> Michael Paré as Bill Pruitt </Li> <Li> Cameron Finley as Travis </Li> <Li> Kathy Najimy as Toni Post </Li> <Li> Bill Cobbs as Nurse </Li> <Li> Connie Ray as Bobbi - Claire Patterson </Li> <Li> Rosanna Arquette as Connie (uncredited) </Li> </Ul> <Li> Sandra Bullock as Birdee Pruitt </Li> <Li> Harry Connick Jr. as Justin Matisse </Li>
