This is one of those movies that looked so cute from the commercials, well, it wasn't cute. This was boring beyond belief. Save your money and skip this one.

What a beautiful little film! It was a pleasure to see two actors of a certain age at the top of their form at a time when special effects seem the order of the day. You will be touched, you will laugh and like myself you will most certainly cry especially at the wedding scene and in the last moments of the film. Overall, you will feel uplifted in the end and not sorry that you spent 90 minutes of your life in a dark auditorium with complete strangers....three cheers for Dustin, Emma and the wonderful supporting cast!

Hoffman is his same old self. If you like his style of acting, you'll like this one because it's true-to-form, classic dusty. Thompson was the real acting genious of the film in my opinion. She is funny and absolutely charming. Saying something or saying nothing at all and still managing to make you feel something as the viewer is he major talent. Otherwise, the film mainly consists of these two getting to know each other so it's hard to critique much else. A nice enjoyable film for a Sunday afternoon.

My husband, my daughter and I went to see this movie Friday night. We all agreed it was one of the best movies we had ever seen with amazing acting - certainly Academy Award level. The script was excellent. Why did it not receive any awards?

"Last Chance Harvey" is an achingly sweet, simple, and poignant movie played with perfecton by Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson. While the situation/events are predictable, the movie approaches the heartbreak of divorce, single life, and rejection with honesty and humility. Hoffman's character would have every reason to put on the bravado and boast about himself to woo Thompson -- as men tend to do -- but instead, he openly admits his faiiures as a husband, father, and career pianist. It was delightful to watch the two characters blossom under the kindness of each other -- something they had both found lacking in every other relationship they'd tried. No profanity, sex, or violence to distract from the timeless reality of two people just needing to be loved. Thompson's line at the end is probably the best and most honest, accurate summation I've heard of why many people fail in relationships and are afraid of marriage. I won't spoil it for you -- go see the movie!
