Leave your thoughts about Hope Springs.
| MoviedexChris StuckmannAt this point, I'm sure even Streep knows it's a cliché to bring attention to her magnificent performance |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferHilarious, bold, honest and witty. Meryl Streep sizzles. One of the smartest romantic comedies in years. It will go down as a classic. |
| We Got This CoveredJonathan LackHope Springs is not an easy experience, but it is a tremendously rewarding one. |
| Tolucan TimesTony MedleyEven though it's sometimes difficult to watch, Streep, Jones, and Carell sparkle. This should be rewarded as one of the best of the year. Taylor is a screenwriter to watch. |
| Movie TalkJason BestStreep and Jones's acting is probably better than the film's direction and script deserve, but, thanks to them, Hope Springs is tender, sad, funny and honest. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA funny and sensitive movie about the renewal of a burnt-out marriage that is one of the Best Films of 2012. |
| Hollywood & FineMarshall FineLet me just say two things: This is a smart, enjoyable, even moving film. And it's not a comedy, though that's what they're selling you. |
| ComingSoon.netEdward DouglasThe funniest sex comedy you're likely to see this year, as well as an incredibly poignant film. |
| Kaplan vs. KaplanJeanne KaplanIn the wrong hands, this film could have been a train wreck of sentimentality and stale jokes. Instead, screenwriter Vanessa Taylor has penned a marvelous script. |
| Urban CinefileAndrew L. UrbanThe premise is built on such solid and serious drama - and is so sharply observed - that it can take quite a heavy battering of humour, which it does, thanks to Vanessa Taylor's fine screenplay and David Frankel's adroit direction |
