2008
Plot: Always bring your heart medicine when traveling overseas if you are very old, plan to fall in love, and foolishly run up twenty flights of stairs.
Eric: The cynic in me says that Dustin Hoffman is funny looking, short, and twenty years older than Emma Thompson. But the romantic in me thought this movie was sweet and touching, I thought their romance was believable—very studly the way Harvey, a pathetic down-on-his-luck guy, chased this woman who caught his eye. The movie only works when these two are on the screen together, though; enough for three paws from me.
Kelly: There was something very sweet about the way Dustin Hoffman gazed up into Emma Thompson’s eyes. I thought they made a cute couple. I agree that the movie was at its best when they were sharing the screen, though. The sad, mopey individual scenes leading up to when they met were not particularly entertaining.
Boring movie. Not enough fighting. I was disappointed when it turned out to be just like it looked like it would be on the cover.
