Since I'd completely forgotten that I bought
the DVD, I must have purchased the film "Last Chance Harvey" some years
ago. Last night I finally watched, and I enjoyed the performances of
two fine actors, Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson, in
a lovely, romantic story. While the audiences' reactions were
decidedly mixed, the critics gave the film higher marks. One critic
said the movie was "sweet and tender", and another said, "They don't
often make romances like this, so tell your mum - or granny!" Well, I
thought it was sweet and tender, and I'm a mum and a granny, so I
suppose that's why I more than liked the movie - I loved it. It will
not be among the most memorable films I've seen, but it was a fine way
to spend a cold and rainy New Year's Eve.
