Hope Springs

Interestingly and surprisingly, strictly speaking this is not  a comedy.. nor Devil Wears Prada bitch.
Instead it's very serious movie depicting a senior couple, as the wife tries to re-kindle their relationship with her husband after 30 years of marriage, which seemed dead, stagnant, drained... no sex, no spark. 
and as the movie along like marital therapy 101, as if really sponsored by a Hope Spring counselling centre. 
And unlike other movies where therapist are often poked fun at portray like neurotics or lunatics, here the therapist is very professional, very serious, and also realistic... as seen from his approach, and his questions...
and if not coz the leading roles are Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones, it would become like an ordinary a real life couple going for therapy.
And the only part i thought quite amusing is when Meryl goes to buy a book called "Tips that straight women can learn from gays".
But still, the movie is neither exaggerated nor too overly dramatic.. yes, senior adults too need relationship, spice up their sex life too.
I doubt those young audience would like this movie. Strictly for those adults least >30 yo.
 
Rating: 3.5/5
