Movie Reviews of Hope Springs
Movie Review: DON"T BUY THIS!!!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I idiotilcy got this DVD because of Colin Firth, and, as you can see, it sucks. BTW, this is not "Prasadjonnalagadda" but rather his daughter, he just comes to buy crap, but NEVER reads the reviwes. Anyways, I had better time watching a syndicated Simpsons' episode than watching this bomb. At first, I thought that this movie might've had some potential because of the suberb stars: Colin Firth and Minnie Driver ( Good Will Hunting, Won an Oscar for it) I did not yet know Heather Grahm, but after this movie, I hate her NOW! I will admit, she was alright up until she got drunk in the car. That. Was. Annying beyond reason.
Other than that, the film's set up is absolutly horrible, starting off with Colin coming to a town just because it's called Hope? And falling in love with someone only after a couple of days? And there is also the horrible music that doesn't fit the mood at all whenever they play at the scene. Pepole, I originnaly gave this a 2 star for Colin and Minnie, but Heather is responsible for everything else.
Movie Review: Amazingly bad--- don't buy it, don't even rent it!
Summary: 1 Stars
This film is unwatchable-- and the only question is what talented actors like Colin Firth and Minnie Driver are doing in this insipid hack job.
When it comes to dialogue, not a single word rings true. None of the characters make any sense at all. They are reading lines and getting into situations that are so dull, and so ridiculously unbelievable, that one wonders if the film were written by a group of typing monkeys who happened to hit letters that formed words, rather than a cognizant human being.
We couldn't get through it, as it was clearly outside the realm of possibility that the clueless writer-director could ever have his characters do anything that anyone else on the planet would care about. I see that view validated by the other reviewers with more persistence who watched this thing until the end.
It's amazing he ever got funding for this ultimate turkey!
Movie Review: An awful movie.
Summary: 1 Stars
Like many others who have reviewed this movie, I can say that I am a huge fan of Colin Firth and Minnie Driver. Why they are in this poorly written, poorly edited movie is beyond me. Heather Graham is perfectly cast for this B movie; her acting abilities are on a par with the rest of what is going on here.
The characters are flat, many of them are just poor characterizations (Mary Steenburgen is just embarassing as the hotel manager with the fake Maine accent....painful to watch.) and they are all unbelievable.
I watched it all the way through and wished I hadn't.
Save your money and get this one out of the library if you have to try it out.
Movie Review: This Was Awful
Summary: 1 Stars
Boring. Yawnfest. Fist-crashingly bad writing. I could go on.
I think I will....
Lame characters. Terrible use of music. (WHO decided to use that terrible remake of "I'm Not in Love"?) Waste of Firth. Small thank you to Oliver Platt for (once again) being the only good thing in a veddy bad movie.
The. Plot. Barely. Moves.
I dare anyone to give a rat's patoot which of the two boring females boring British protagonist chooses.
Hackneyed use of "charming, oafish, quirky East-coast Americans."
Skip it.
Movie Review: Is this some kind of a joke? Romantic Comedy my foot!!
Summary: 1 Stars
My Gosh! the movie is bad - I mean really bad! The lead female role is someone you would want to run from. All through the film she jumps up and down like five year olds. She reminds me of the heroins of badly written, cheap romantic paperbacks. Ugh! And, what were those innocent - non-innocent clothes shedding?! She is an ideal example of "how to loose a guy in 10 (read one) day". The less said about the second lead - Minnie Driver the better.
Colin Firth - I implore you to choose better next time - you are worth better.
