this time it’s different

Movie review:

Last Chance Harvey

Maybe you’ve been wondering how they come up with those almost-too-hard-to-believe love stories that end with the two unlikely lovers walking off together in the tree-shaded lane.

I don’t know how they come up with them, but I discovered Last Chance Harvey (2008, rated PG-13, 93 minutes), so I know they’re out there.

You never heard of it, you say? Well, here’s a hint: there’s no sweaty sex, no car chases, no guns, no bad language…

There’s just a feel-good heart-throb story about Harvey (Dustin Hoffman) and Kate (Emma Thompson) who are having unhappy lives, who meet really momentarily by chance, who meet again with a little more time to think about possibilities, who can’t stop thinking this time it might be different…

This time it is different. Harvey and Kate slow-walk themselves finally onto a dance floor, and then they walk around town and dither about their obvious blooming feelings, and then they walk off together in the tree-shaded lane…

Are you smiling? Watch Last Chance Harvey, and do the wider smile thing.
