SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Matthew D Booth I saw this film tonight. Being honest I was skeptical about it, but felt like it was best one on the lineup at the theatre, that I had not already seen or want to see. Plus since I am single, why would I want to see a movie about an older couple, who need to add a little spice to their life after 31 years, but I like Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones, so paid my admission, popcorn and watched. Turns out it is a pretty good movie. I went to the late show and was the lone soldier in the theatre so did not have to turn off my cell phone and could fart if I needed to as well. If you are a movie buff and like the stars, I would say give it a look. Only wish the Elizabeth Shue and Mimi Rogers characters would have had more screen time. They each had cameo roles.

Satoshi Kato It was great. I do not know, but I assume many married people found it interesting. I am young though, I found this movie very interesting because I often think about the meaning of the marriage. Marriage would be much deeper than I think. It matters or be responsible much to get married since it might last 30 to 50 years, which is so long. It is not necessary to think about at the time of the marriage though. However considering the high rate of divorcing rate recently all over the world, we might need to face this kind of thing. This movie was the great motivator to ask me for the meaning of it. So I rated 8/10.I would like to say about counseling lastly, is that so called Freudian way of doing it?

Desertman84 Hope Springs is a romantic comedy and drama that features Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones together with Steve Carell,Elisabeth Shue and Mimi Rogers.This movie takes a view at mature relationships particularly Kay and Arnold who has been married for decades.Kay feels that she and her husband Arnold are just going to the motions of their marriage despite the fact that they show devotion to each other.She wanted to bring up some spice into their relationship by doing various things to reconnect with her husband like seducing her at night but to no avail as he apparently has shown no interest.This led her to convince her husband to visit a couple therapist in town called Great Hope Springs.She had difficulty in persuading him considering his virtues of being steadfast man of routine but manages to do so in the end.During their retreat,both started to explore the challenges they are facing and find out why their marriage has become somewhat dull and boring.But ultimately,this led them to realize their shortcomings and fall for each other once again.No question that Meryl Streep once again delivers as Kay.What's good about it is the fact that she manages to provide a very sexual performance as an aging wife who needs to do something about her lifeless marriage.What's good is that Tommy Lee Jones manages to complement her acting talent as the disinterested husband.Their chemistry and comedic talent shines throughout the film.Although this film could be boring especially for the young audience who have yet to experience what Kay and Arnold are experiencing,I still was somehow felt entertained due to the lead stars performance as they managed to elevate the film despite its average script and direction.Also,it is worth giving credit to the supporting cast for providing spice to what could have been a generic movie without Streep and Jones.

BigRedJonson A masterful job by Tommy Lee Jones as Arnold; a stoic, staunch, impatient, rude, angry, obnoxious, tense, terse, distant, dysfunctional husband. Jones is so convincing and so engrossed in his character that it is easy to forget he is acting. He delivers his lines with spontaneity and from the heart, like he has lived Arnold's life, not like he is reading from a script. Excellent job as well by Meryl Streep as Kay, Arnold's charming, sensitive, frustrated, desperate, dutiful wife. Perhaps the best work of Steve Carell's career as Dr. Bernard Feld, the cool, calm, caring, sensitive, soft-spoken, compassionate, reassuring marriage therapist. Honorable mention goes out to Elisabeth Shue, as the charming, friendly local bartender.But Jones commands every scene and steals the show. His portrayal of Arnold, first as a disconnected spouse and later, in his awkwardness and discomfort in the situation he has reluctantly been cast, is acting perfection. "Hope Springs" is an average script, made exceptional by the extraordinary work of Steve Carell and Hollywood icons Tommy Lee Jones and Meryl Streep. A very 'touching' movie.
