Hope Springs

 

USA 2012, 100 minutes
Dir. David Frankel
Genres: Drama, Comedy

Topics: Late-life.

 

“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.
