Last Chance Harvey

Last Chance Harvey


I was impressed with this film. Granted, I am female, I do not like chick flicks. BUT this film even spoke to me. It starred Dustin Hoffamn, and Emma Thompson; an unlikely pair, especially due to the fact that Emma Thompson towers over Dustin Hoffman, but adoreable nonetheless.

This was the average love story you see every time, but this is somehow slightly different. It also helps that the other characters throw in a lot of “WTF” moments for you to be angry about. Though, the story traveled quite smoothly. Before you know it, you are watching the third act, and you did not even notice.

The plot was generic, but it was told in a pleasing way that you did not mind as much. Sure there were moments where you felt like you were being hit over the head repeatedly with a romantic comedy, but in a weird way you got sucked in, and enjoyed every second of feeling sappy, and in love with the idea of being in love.

These actors are to put it modest fantastic at any role they jump into, and of course, this is no exception. You really honestly wanted these two together, no matter their differences. Even when the classic misunderstanding arises, you still wish for them to pull through. I was suckered in quite well to think these characters were actual living breathing people I had just met.

I really enjoyed this film, and I urge you to enjoy it as well.
I give this film 4 out of 5.
