Plot Summary - Love story about the unlikely match between two older, lonely people who live in two different cities and don't even seem that keen on each other at first glance. American Harvey Shine (Dustin Hoffman) arrives in London to attend his daughter's wedding. Not exactly father-of-the-year, I guess, things don't really go the way Harvey hopes as his daughter (bitch,if you ask my opinion) tells him she would rather her step-father give her away. Harvey, busy businessman, decides to skip his daughter's wedding reception - but - he misses his plane home and at the same time, gets fired by his boss. Poor Harvey! But while getting a drink in an airport lounge he chances to meet a middle-aged London woman named Kate (Emma Thompson) and they start to form a friendship. She convinces him to attend the wedding reception, he invites her to go with him - then decides to postpone his trip back home as this spur-of-the-moment match-up seems to be possibly a love match in the making!
Review - Ah, I loved this one - quite romantic, and nice to see a story about a blossoming romance that features an older couple - it doesn't always have to be just about the thirty or under set, does it?! The whole story is helped along by top-notch performances by two great stars, Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson, as well as nice on-location scenes filmed in my favorite town (at least of those I've been to so far), London. The film also includes a very nice soundtrack that enhances the film. Rating - 9.5/10 stars
