Hope Springs

“A surprise that sneaks up and moves you, "Hope Springs" has the courage of its awkwardness, and this is said admiringly in the spirit of the film, which is irony-free and unfashionably earnest.”~Wall Streeet Journal

Aroview: An admirable dramedy of twilight romance, with Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones playing a couple of thirty years who attend marriage counseling when their relationship begins to falter.

While brownie points go the film's frank discussion of the mid-life sex life, this is overall clunky stuff, with little subtly in the way of character and emotional development, and more than a few scenes of cringe worthy earnestness. For those not looking to have their intelligence insulted, we recommend the vastly superior CLOUD 9.
