When you have 2 powerful stars like Dustin Hoffman & Emma Thompson, one would expect at the very least an entertaining film.
This is a 93 long bore, with only few enjoyable moments.
The problem is the screenplay.
Joel Hopkins whose last movie was a independent film in 2001, both wrote & directed this movie. Miss Thompson who is a very gifted writer, should have written the screenplay. The 2 stars looked embarrassed in many scenes with the cliché dialog they had to say.
The movie was made in London UK, the various locations were lovingly photographed., In fact the entire production was the best part of the film. The supporting cast had near nothing to do.
Its easy to see why this film did not have a wide run, regretfully it did not deserve one.
I was bored in many scenes, I expected better from these 2 performers.
Ratings: **1/2 (out of 4) 73 points (out of 100) IMDb 6 (out of 10)
