À propos de ce film

New Yorker Harvey Shine (Academy-Award®-winner Dustin Hoffman) is on the verge of losing his dead-end job as a jingle writer. Warned by his boss (Richard Schiff) that he has just one more chance to deliver, Harvey goes to London for a weekend wedding for his daughter but promises to be back on Monday. When he misses the plane and is fired on the spot, Harvey strikes up a conversation with Kate (Academy-Award®-winner Emma Thompson), a slightly prickly, 40-something employee of the Office of National Statistics. Thus, through the devastation of Harvey's life, a new romance is born.

Notes et avis

Last Chance Harvey is an extremely warm and touching romance. Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson give memorable performances. expressing the gamut of emotions as they struggle with heartache and hope for a better life. This film is one of my great favorites for its honesty, simplicity and depth - a real true love story worth watching.

Sweet and realistic, this is one of my favorite love stories of all time. Great script, directing, acting, and design.

This was a stinker. I was embarrassed for both Hoffman and Thompson. Skip this one.
