Two posts in the same week? Can you stand it?

So, today I went to see “Last Chance Har­vey” because I think Emma Thomp­son is amaz­ing in every­thing and a roman­tic com­edy about peo­ple who aren’t 20-something or even 30-something is always wel­come. Yes, Vir­ginia, there is love after 40, and some­times it’s better.

Any­way, “Har­vey” has its charm. A decent script and win­ning per­for­mances from Emma, who is always won­der­ful, and Dustin Hoff­man, who reminded me how affect­ing he can be with the right mate­r­ial. Great cin­ema? No. Pro­found? No. This story doesn’t try to be more than it is–a sweet lit­tle movie about peo­ple who find each other after both had given up on hav­ing love in their lives. There are some laughs, and it’s a pleas­ant way to spend an hour and half.

Go see it.
