Product Description

A man down on his luck finds an unlikely companion while attending his daughter's wedding in London.

Amazon.com

Anyone who’s seen the trailer for Last Chance Harvey can easily guess how it ends. In fact, the title alone is a clue. But the destination is hardly the point with movies like this; it’s the journey that counts, and this one is pretty entertaining. You could call director-writer Joel Hopkins’ film a romantic comedy, but it’s not especially robust in either of those departments. This is more of a character study, and veteran lead actors Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson are well up to the task of bringing theirs to life. Both are awkward, lonely, social misfits. Hoffman’s Harvey Shine is a bit of a schlub; his gig as a jingle composer in jeopardy, estranged from his ex-wife (Kathy Baker) and daughter (Liane Balaban), he flies to London for the latter’s wedding, only to have her tell him that she has chosen her step-father (James Brolin) rather than him to give her away. Meanwhile, Kate Walker (Thompson) spends her days trying to survey harried travelers at Heathrow Airport, answering her meddling mother’s constant stream of cell phone calls, and awaiting the all-to-inevitable onset of spinsterhood. Harvey has already brushed her off once when, having put in a humiliating appearance at the wedding and missed his return flight to America, he runs into her in an airport bar. What ensues--the initial repartee and sarcastic snarking, the gradual breaking of the ice, the burgeoning attraction, the complications and misunderstandings--is entirely predictable. But it’s also well done. These are people one might actually identify with; when Kate tells him, "I’m more comfortable with being disappointed. I’m angry with you for trying to take that away," one senses a real person in there, which helps raise Last Chance Harvey above its conventions. --Sam Graham Fennessy

Great acting. Slow-paced in the best way. Real life. Emma Thompson is a dream.

I love it, have watched it 10 times

Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2019

First, the actors, they are the best at what they do, and they have great chemistry together. You really believe it.

Second, I have always been a nerd, and because of that all the people that thought they were "IN" always thought I was out; which didn't bother me too much because being a nerd, I was "in to" whatever I was doing too much to really care. But I knew it, and that they rolled their eyes, and acted like I just did not get "it" always rankled.

Spoiler alert, don't read the rest if you don't want to know anything about the film...
Dustin Hoffman plays a musician, who always wanted to write great works, but made a very good living as a jingle writer...but it took up most of his time and attention, and somewhere along the way his first wife decided he was no fun, and she found someone who was "in" and rich, handsome and fun...like she immagined she was. And poor old Dustin, was left in the dirt by his wife and daughter. And pretty soon, even his employers looked at the outside of him and thought it was the same as the inside of him and didn't want him either.

Good ole Emma Thompson (just seeing her makes me feel better, no matter what film she is in) she just never really made it out of the starting gate, never married and now too old to have children. All she has left is a clingly nerotic mother, that calls her all day long, every day...ad nauseum!

So these two lonely people, ignored or unvalued by other people meet, and the world becomes a wonderful place for them, and for us watching them. It's wonderful. But it is GENTLE, and quiet, and just beautifull in a natural way; not like the beauty of the Alps, or Disney Land. But the beauty of a hummingbird, or the way the dew hangs on the branches catching the sunlight.

I loved the scenery, and the colors...this is London, so think muted. I just found it all relaxing and it makes me smile.

Two real people getting another chance to open themselves up to being in a relationship after previous heartaches.
Dustin Hoffman was so loveable. This is his most cerebral role. Allowing the stillness inside him breathe to let Emma's character reach her own conclusions.
Yes, it may be predicable but it is done with maturity and thoughtfulness.
Absolutely delightful.

I love Dustin Hoffman and even more, I love Emma Thompson. I couldn't resist watching this movie with both of them together. It was a cute movie and I don't feel like I wasted too much time or money. But I didn't quite buy the story or the relationship. I might with different actors, but in spite of the fact I love them both, they just didn't quite have the chemistry that this story line needed to be believable.

More Than A Friend

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2009

Verified Purchase

Harvey Shine (Dustin Hoffman) is a kind man. Although he had dreamed of becoming a jazz pianist, he writes jingles for a living and he has done his job well for many years. Because of his age, his boss, Marvin, treats him as if he's no longer an asset to the company, suggesting that he stay in London (Harvey's daughter is getting married there) for a while instead of rushing back to work.
Kate Walker (Emma Thompson) works for the Public Statistics Agency in the airport and makes a living taking surveys from any arriving passenger who will allow her to ask the questions. She has a friend who tries to play matchmaker and a mother who craves her attention, phoning her constantly when they are apart.
And Kate's mother Maggie (Eileen Atkins) has her own little storyline. She had an active imagination but I could understand why she thought what she did. This woman amused me.
I felt bad for Harvey and Kate in the beginning because they seemed so alone in the world. Harvey was treated like an outcast at his daughter's wedding and that bothered me. And when his daughter gave him news that hurt him to his heart, I hurt right along with him. I was so glad when he found his voice at the reception. The toast he made brought tears to my eyes. And Kate -it seemed she was just going through the motions of life. When these two people got together I was so happy for them. They were lovable people even though they didn't seem to think so and they were good for each other.
No graphic sex scenes, no violence and not much profanity (did get carried away with the `s' word for a little while there). When this movie was really getting good, it was over and that was disappointing. I wish it would have been longer. I really enjoyed it.

DVD perfetto, film capolavoro, Emma Thompson superba

Reviewed in Italy on September 3, 2023

Verified Purchase

DVD tecnicamente perfetto. La storia è riportata in inglese nella presentazione del DVD su Amazon e in italiano su Wikipedia sotto il titolo 'Oggi è già domani': delicata trama d'amore che nasce fra due persone ormai pienamente adulte, rese prudenti dall'esperienza, ma ancora pronte a correre il rischio dell'innamoramento e dell'amore, naturalmente con le tinte e le nuances dell'incombente tramonto della vita adulta. Nuance rese in modo impareggiabile dalla Thompson, con Dustin Hofman irrigidito da una greve situazione professionale che l'amore gli consentirà infine di gettarsi dietro le spalle. Un film pulito, niente volgarità, istruttivo, tenero tenero ma controllato. Un vero capolavoro, e con prove d'artista indimenticabili.

It's NOT a romantic comedy

Reviewed in Canada on September 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is definitely not a RomCom in the accepted sense of the genre. There are no comedic situations and nobody touches, let alone kisses. Rather, it's a sensitive probing of two people at opposite ends of middle age who, in a chance encounter over a weekend, help each other recognize and overcome the defensive walls they have constructed to protect their respective hearts. The script is excellent with realistic and amusing dialogue which, wonder of wonders, manages to get through the entire film without recourse to even one 4 letter epithet. Hoffman and Thompson are so good they had me emotionally involved in their characters 10 minutes into the film before they even met. Not for everyone, the movie is all about characters, whose problems I doubt many under 25 would understand or sympathize with.
The writer-director, an ex-pat Londoner, claims in the extras that he made this as a postcard to London and that he tried to make the city look like Paris. Why? How? The only similarity between the cities is a river runs through them. I lived in the west end of London years ago and the movie conjured no nostalgia in me. It's a view of areas I'm unfamiliar with. Still, the locations give the threadbare story a very pretty, romantic background.

Last Chance - First Chance

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 29, 2014

Dustin Hoffman burst onto the cinema screen in 1967as Ben the lead in 'the Graduate' He was thirty years old playing a twenty year old. The film was hilarious and instantly became a cult film and has remained so. Anne Bancroft played the female lead, Mrs. Robinson a family friend of his parents. He always called her Mrs. Robinson even during their torrid love scenes and the song 'Here's to you Mrs. Robinson' became a hit for Simon and Garfunkel: and very pretty it was too. Mike Nicholls directed, and made his name too. So that was then. Over the years Dustin Hoffman has given us some amazing performances - Tootsie, Midnight Cowboy, Rainman. Very unusual characters expertly portrayed. And now here is 'Last Chance Harvey'. A slight story, almost soppy I would say and would suggest that Hoffman and Emma Thompson decided to do it because they weren't doing anything else. So here is this chunky seventysomething who is no looker playing the romantic lead. And very charmingly he does it too. A wealth of experience goes into his characterisation and it his performance which makes the film a pleasure to watch.
