Last Chance Harvey
Genre: Romance, Drama
Release Date: December 25
Cast: Dustin Hoffman, Emma Thompson, Kathy Baker, James Brolin, Eileen Atkins
Scoop: Harvey Shine (Hoffman) loses his job over the phone while traveling in London. Drowning his sorrows at the airport bar, Harvey strikes up a conversation with Kate (Thompson), a slightly prickly, 40-something employee of the Office of National Statistics -- who happens to warm up to him.
If a Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words, We Say: Can you handle an adult romance? Well we say give it a shot. When has Dustin or Emma last let you down? Even in this bar, you can see some curious energy brewing.
Snapshot Prediction: 4 out of 5 flashes
