New Hope Springs movie list

New movie list Hope Springs Kay (Meryl Streep) and Arnold (Tommy Lee Jones) are a devoted couple, but decades of marriage have left Kay wanting to spice things up and reconnect with her husband. When she hears of a renowned couple's specialist (Steve Carell) in the small town of Great Hope Springs, she attempts to persuade her skeptical husband, a steadfast man of routine, to get on a plane for a week of marriage therapy. Just convincing the stubborn Arnold to go on the retreat is hard enough - the real challenge for both of them comes as they shed their bedroom hang-ups and try to re-ignite the spark that caused them to fall for each other in the first place. -- (C) Sony Release Date Hope Springs Aug 8, 2012 Wide

Review For Hope Springs
Streep fans, I think you're going to enjoy this one. I know I did. Tom Charity-CNN.com The film, a rehab job on a beached marriage, displays the most tender respect, the most exquisite tact, and yet it would be completely unwatchable -- an outright embarrassment -- with any other actors than Tommy Lee Jones and Meryl Streep. David Denby-New Yorker It's tough to come up with new superlatives for Meryl Streep, but the 63-year-old actress delivers her most frankly sexual performance yet in Hope Springs. Rafer Guzman-Newsday All that's missing are commercials for estrogen cream and erectile-dysfunction meds. David Edelstein-New York Magazine It's all a little depressing. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post "Hope Springs" is a minor miracle of a movie. Ann Hornaday-Washington Post Sure, there's some big, general things about common couples' problems that ring true, but Hope Springs is all posturing with very little believable character building. Eric Melin-Scene-Stealers.com Hope Springs is a sweet and funny film, featuring wonderful performances from the leads, but it also has a nice emotional touch to it. Jeff Beck-We Got This Covered Should this marriage be saved? Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit Absolutely not the comedy it implies, this mostly serious, very frank story is simplistic, even awkward, but captivates because of the leads. Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah) [D]azzlingly graceful as a narrative and brutally frank emotionally, while still also working as a piece of popcorn entertainment... MaryAnn Johanson-Flick Filosopher While it may feel familiar to some, such awkward home truths do not a great viewing experience make. Jones is bereft of charm, while Streep seems misplaced as his loyal wife. Ed Gibbs-The National Streep and Jones's acting is probably better than the film's direction and script deserve, but, thanks to them, Hope Springs is tender, sad, funny and honest. Jason Best-Movie Talk Hope Springs is not an easy experience, but it is a tremendously rewarding one. Jonathan Lack-We Got This Covered Meryl Streep is always worth watching. That's a given. Graham Young-Birmingham Mail Who could resist a showdown between two such formidable stars, even when both (Jones does his sour, squinty thing) are coasting? Donald Clarke-Irish Times People will go to see this film for Streep. Its secret weapon is Jones. Charlotte O'Sullivan-This is London Funny and moving in equal measure. Alex Zane-Sun Online Mildly diverting, but far from either of its lead actors' best. Sophie Haslett-Little White Lies Hope springs; but not without a witty, pithy script it doesn't. Nigel Andrews-Financial Times The film's strong points are its noble intentions and the nuanced performances by Streep and Lee Jones. But I'm not sure who will actually enjoy this movie. Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK] As the couple try to rekindle the bedroom flame the note of cutesy comedy kicks in and the movie gets phonier and phonier. Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]
