Last Chance Harvey (2008)

Starring: Dustin Hoffman, Emma Thompson
Director: Joel Hopkins
Country: USA, UK
Genre: Romance, Comedy

It’s fun watching two grown adults acting like teenagers in love.

There’s something magical when a quaint formulaic film transcends its expectations and becomes unforgettable. Such is the case with Last Chance Harvey, a familiar love story between two down-and-out characters who have a chance encounter. What really elevates this film is its two stars, Hoffman and Thompson, as they relish in their roles, finding emotions and humor that only seasoned actors like them can. Their chemistry is entirely fun to watch. While the film takes a few stock twists, it really doesn’t matter, because after all, that’s what we’re there to see. Last Chance Harvey is a uplifting and wonderful film that helps fill the void of mid-life romance films.
