Excellent movie! Lots of laughter and a few tears, too. Meryl and Tommy Lee were so wonderful as this couple trying to find their way after 31 years of marriage. Oh and keep your kids at home.....it's an adult movie!

I've been to the show recently to see Batman, Total Recal, and even The Bourne Legacy, and to be completely honest, if I had to pick a movie to see again, it would be this one. The casting on this movie was perfect, Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones as a married couple going for counseling, and Steve Carell as the Counselor. The story itself was also so right on for older people, and Tommy Lee Jones really stole the show with this one, his negative actions/reactions and opinions kept you laughing throughout the movie. I dont believe younger folk who look for more action will find this as good as older people do, I'm 46 myself, and really enjoyed it because of its story and how true to the heart it is with some folk. If your looking for a great story with a sense of reality mixed in, with exceptional acting by all characters, and I'd like to say a comedy of sorts also with Tommy's part in the movie, then this is the movie to see, I'd give this 3 1/2 stars out of 4 myself. Enjoy :)

Very believable! Meryl and Tommy Lee had the facial expressions that were right on target for the material. Probably better for and enjoyed by those who have been married for awhile. I thought it was hilarious--and I did shed a tear or two.

Arnold and Kaye have lost touch with each other in more ways than one, and this movie is about how they refind their mojo through marriage counselling. It has lots of funny moments, but it also is poignant and serious in many places...in ways many couples will probably find somewhat familiar. I loved that Steve Carell who plays the therapist was spot on and not at all comedic. He asks the hard questions and directs Kaye and Arnold so professionally I found it hard to believe he wasn't in the business! There's lots to iron out in their relationship, and its not a slam dunk. I found it entertaining and satisfying, mostly because it is a wonderful story about an otherwise shy or passive woman who decides that what she has is not enough and that she is willing to risk all to get what she wants. And in doing so, she forces issues that otherwise could kept her and her husband under a cloud forever. Go, girl! I'd recommend this movie. It's not Bat Man (thank God!)

Hope Springs is full of surprises! A wonderful movie! Meryl Streep is terrific! Tommy Lee Jones is awesome! Steve Carell is the best! A truly feel good movie! Some discussions amongst the characters will make you feel shy again! A great movie! These characters and their performances will not let you down!
