Reviews for this film from our members:
- Jason Bailey @ DVD Talk
- Excerpt: This is a film with real problems. But in its best moments, ‘Hope Springs’ has laughs and charm, and it gets to the heart of marital complacency with some real insight and surprising sensitivity.
- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ SpiritualityandPractice.com
- Excerpt: A funny and sensitive movie about the renewal of a burnt-out marriage that is one of the Best Films of 2012.
- Stephen Carty @ Flix Capacitor
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Director David Frankel (“The Devil Wears Prada”) wisely lets his actors do the heavy lifting and the result isn’t so much an out and out comedy but a rather moving character study of two middle aged people making themselves awfully uncomfortable in order to attain a new ease with intimacy.
- Jim Dixon @ Examiner.com
- Excerpt: t would be easy to dismiss “Hope Springs” as a Lifetime movie with a feature film cast. In reality, however, a Lifetime movie would probably get the job done with greater economy.
- Clark Douglas @ DVD Verdict
- Kate Erbland @ Film School Rejects
- Dustin Freeley @ Movies About Gladiators.com
- Excerpt: A film that explores the discomfort that comfort can bring.
- Kathy Gibson @ Access Bollywood
- Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: Heart-warming, irreverent and uplifting, it’s a downright funny, feel-good romantic comedy/drama for adults.
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: Dazzlingly graceful as a narrative and brutally frank emotionally, while still also working as a piece of popcorn entertainment.
- Benjamin Kramer @ The Voracious Filmgoer
- Darren Mooney @ the m0vie blog
- Excerpt: Hope Springs is a fairly unambitious romantic comedy that is very clearly chasing the silver dollar. Featuring two veteran performers playing a couple struggling through a mid-life crisis, Hope Springs feels like an attempt to demonstrate that the careers of romantic leads don’t necessarily end at forty.
- Tiago Ramos @ Split Screen [Portuguese]
- Jerry Roberts @ Armchair Cinema
- Excerpt: Not perfect, but the casting makes it work.
- Tom Santilli @ Examiner.com
- Excerpt: Hope Springs is daring enough to show us the reality of marriages after “happy ever after” has left the building.
