September 28, 2009An untypical movie. A movie about love where the characters are mature. Both Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson are great in this movie. Of course this is just the movies. How many 50-year-olds do you know who on the same day as he gets rejected by his daughter and fired from h...( read more)

July 3, 2009A sweet movie that treads in an area not so commonly seen: older, unsexy people falling in love. Good acting (particularly from Dustin Hoffman, he truly disappears into his characters!) plus a cute and realistic story, and one stirring wedding speech: the recipe for a perfectly g...( read more)

May 8, 2009Last Chance Harvey starring Dustin Hoffman & Emma Thompson is a very lovely movie. Harvey (Hoffman) from NYC is heading over to London for his daughter's wedding. It seems that life has simply passed Harvey by and at the same time has been out of touch with his estranged ex wive ...( read more)

April 28, 2009Over-bearing but honest, nothing great but certainly not a bad movie. Humanity in all its kingdom through the eyes of a heart-broken socially awkward father and a safety-seeking lonely woman.
Both main actors do a fantastic job -with Emma Thompson stealing Dustin Hoffman's thun...( read more) -

November 16, 2009It's fun watching two grown adults act like teenagers in love.
This Guy Over Here picks this as one of the Best Films of the 2000s -
November 15, 2009Lovely. It was just lovely, and beautifully made. Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson are quite wonderful together, and I loved the setting and atmosphere of it. This feel-good drama/comedy stands out from the rest in that two mature, unsexy adults fall in love, rather than petty va...( read more)

November 11, 2009While there were elements of sweetness and sadness, I don't buy these two together at all. For two such great actors, the casting was bad. It wasn't natural at all. Frankly, I blame Dustin's weak performance. It may be the editing as well since the progression of this relation...( read more)

What's in it for Emma? And the answer is ... not much. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
You can't take a script flimsy enough for a Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey vehicle and expect a couple of real thoroughbreds like Thompson and Hoffman not to shred it to pieces. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
There are moments to treasure, but they're small and delicately crafted -- actors' moments. full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Sappy, sentimental and redeemed only by the quiet radiance and fidgety intelligence of its leads, Last Chance Harvey is a fantasy about mopey middle-agers getting a second chance at love. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Last Chance Harvey is a tremendously appealing love story surrounded by a movie not worthy of it. full review

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
Last Chance Harvey is a good chance to see two superb actors having their way with wafer-thin material. full review

Nick Schager, Lessons of Darkness
Feigns serious interest in the trickiness of later-in-life love while indulging in corny humor and even worse bathos. full review
