Last Chance Har­vey is the story about Har­vey (of course), an older guy who basi­cally half-assed most of his life and rela­tion­ships away and is now in dan­ger of los­ing every­thing that mat­ters to him. Har­vey is played by Dustin Hoff­man who does a decent job of play­ing this pathetic guy. He takes a few days off from a job he is barely hold­ing onto and goes to see his daughter’s wed­ding in Eng­land. Emma Thomp­son plays an Eng­lish native with her own spin on a pathetic life. They meet, have a bit of a 24 hour courtship and shed light on each oth­ers issues. It’s not overly roman­tic except for their sav­ing each other in a way. The whole movie takes place over a two or three day period and frankly there’s not much here to rec­om­mend. This is not a high bud­get film and it barely deliv­ers on either the drama or the romance. Unless you’re a fan of either of these actors or have a pathetic life your­self (maybe you can relate), you can pass on this one. I can appre­ci­ate a good roman­tic movie. This just isn’t one of them. I give it a gen­er­ous 2 out of 5 marks.
