My only complaint is that Colin Firth appears to have forgotten to act. Minnie Driver is her usual sparkling evil self, and Heather Graham is her usual naked chicklet self. What more could you people want?
Incidentally, I saw "Love Actually" earlier in the same day, and preferred "Hope Springs".
Well - *I* liked it. 7/10 for pure entertainment value.
It was actually fun.
Fun to see Collin Firth making fun of himself, also Oliver Platt being pathetic as the head of the city of Hope...
The chemistry was there. The script wasn't just superb, but the actors make it up to you.
It's a change from the Briget Jones's Diary, where Firth has to compete with Grant to get a girl. The girls are competing with each other to get him for a change.
I've enjoyed it. So has my wife.
Good to watch on DVD on a late evening. It'll cheer you up.
Colin Firth is on the money as Colin Ware, a jilted artist who comes to America to forget his romantic troubles. He jumps out of the fire and into the frying pan, so to speak. By virtue of the hotel manager, he finds a new romantic interest in Heather Graham who plays Mandy, a 'caregiver' by trade. He gets acquainted with this quirky little town whether he wants to or not.
He starts to do portraits of the townsfolk. I found these portrait scenes to be quite entertaining. All is well until now ex-fiancee Vera reappears on the scene in Hope. There is good caustic interplay between Mandy and Vera in their fight over the same man.
Good performances from great ensemble cast made of up Oliver Platt, the Mayor of Hope, Mary Steenburgen as oh-so-tacky matchmaking Hotel manager and Frank Collison as her eccentric husband.
If you are looking for something more subtle than this summer's blockbuster fare, try this delightful little gem of a film! You won't be disappointed.
P.S. For Colin fans out there, he looks gorgeous! I can't wait for the DVD to appreciate him in all his glory.
