Another advance screening this week. This time it was
Last Chance Harvey starring Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson. This is another splendid film in the all too rare category of good adult story telling and romance. As Harvey, Hoffman is dealing with losing his job and finding out that his daughter has chosen her step-father to give her away at her wedding. His path crosses with Kate (Thompson), a lonely woman looking for love and happiness. Harvey and Kate connect and through their sadness they find something uplifting in one another.
Last Chance Harvey is a very entertaining film. Hoffman and Thompson are a treat together.
Like September, January has traditionally been the dumping ground for Hollywood's crap movies. However, in recent years, January has produced some surprisingly entertaining films -
Cloverfield,
27 Dresses and
Alpha Dog to name a few. Adding to that list is
Bride Wars. Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway star as best friends turned enemies when their dream weddings are accidentally scheduled on the same day. The cast here was my biggest apprehension. I didn't think I would buy Hudson and Hathaway as best friends. I was thrilled to be pleasantly surprised. Hudson and Hathaway worked really well together. Hudson's tough as nails attorney was a great compliment to Hathaway's sweet as can be teacher.
Bride Wars was very cute and I found myself laughing quite often.
