HOPE SPRINGS - a Movie Review


So tonight me and my mom went to see the adult comedy “Hope Springs” .  Now that’s adult as in senior not as in porn, lol.

It’s a romantic comedy of sorts that lets the audience peek into the journey of a marriage that’s barely on life support and suffering from more than just “empty nest syndrome”.

Meryl Streep as the wide-eyed 50ish wife who signs her and her husband up for intensive couples counseling.  Tommy Lee Jones as the crotchity husband who’s just going through the motions pretending nothing is wrong.

I’d hoped this would be more of a comedy than it was.  Watching it, I felt like a peeping Tom listening to awkward details which quite frankly could have been written abit sharper and FUNNIER!

Wait for DVD and if you are squeamish about seeing Meryl Streep (a-hem) on her knees, then don’t bother watching at all.
