Last Chance Harvey

Emma Thompson and Dustin Hoffman cross paths in London while Hoffman is traveling to his daughters wedding. Hoffman plays the role of Harvey, the absent father and bitter ex-husband who is envious of the new husband/dad who seems to fill the role so much better than he did. Thompson is the aging single woman who seems to have given up on love. Can we see where this is going? A by-the-book reconnection between father and daughter along with finding-love-where-you-least-expect-it tale. Both of these actors are fun to watch, but this is not a draw you in kind of engaging film.
3 stars (out of 5)
