Last Chance Harvey**
(US 2008)
An American advertisement jingles composer is estranged by his daughter on her wedding day, but finds strength and solace from an English airline assistant and fellow lonely heart.
Autumnal romantic comedy for the ageing baby boomer generation, taking a while to match up its central pair, and then going on for longer than it needs to, treading down a familiar path for this kind of sentimental British-set comedy. The stars (who are worth the price of admission alone) help to keep it real.
Written and Directed by: Joel Hopkins.
Producers: Tim Perell, Nicola Usborne.
Starring: Dustin Hoffman, Emma Thompson, Eileen Atkins, Liane Balaban, Kathy Baker, James Brolin, Daniel LaPaine, Bronagh Gallagher.
Photography: John de Borman.
Music: Dickon Hinchliffe.
LAST CHANCE HARVEY. Another in the recent brand
of charming Sixtysomething romances. Dustin Hoffman truly looks like The
Graduate 50 years on, but Emma Thompson is a girl for all seasons.
