To me, this movie is perfection.

Powerful

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

RomCom at it's stupidest & worst. Colin Firth and Heather Graham are Dumb And Dumber.I'm supposed to buy off that it is all just RomCom fun to slam bottles of booze in a car and then to take off driving in a Mustang through stop signs...nearly getting in accidents...but this is OK because it is RomCom love fun. The stodgy Colin Firth is falling for Heather Graham and "sap rock" (instead of cock rock) plays to accent the scene.Then she goes to his room and just strips naked and jumps around because "Butterflies are free!" Of course, you'd never think she's been slamming Tequila; it looks like she is in gymnastics class! And since he is Colin Firth of course he isn't a rapist or killer so why not just strip down and jiggle! Then Heather is the most self absorbed woman a man ever shacked up with. She can't let Colin draw his art; she has to be constantly interrupting and needs babying.Don't bother.

Okay, before I go on I must confess, the movie doesn't deserve a 7 star rating. Maximum I would have given it is a 6.5. But then I saw it's IMDb rating, and I thought hey, the movie isn't that bad. And I kind of wanted to raise it's rating a little bit.And it isn't. Yes, the plot isn't terribly original. Yes, the romance doesn't melt your heart. Yes, the comedy doesn't make you roll on the floor laughing. But it does make your smile. The little game that Heather Graham and Colin Firth play, beating about the bush is cute and the chemistry between them is pretty good. The plot is pretty predictable but Heather's portrayal of the vivacious and bubbly Mandy does liven it up. In the end, it's not a terrible waste of time. You won't regret having seen it.

This is a charming movie. It is in places very funny. Minnie Driver, as always, is excellent, a joy to watch. Colin Firth does his agreeable Colin Firth impersonation and the American girl is fluffy and sweet. I loved Mary Steenburgen doing a vulgar part and Oliver Platt always adds vim. I rather think this is a movie for bookish people with a night off, but there aren't enough of those about. It doesn't fill the screen quite, but it is certainly a feature rather than a TV movie. I like the Anglo-American tint to it: there seem to be no glaring cultural gaffes. We even get Marks and Spencers mentioned. Intelligent, engaging and funny. 7 out of 10 because only God gets 10 and only The Third Man and Casablanca get 9.

This film is about an English artist who goes to Hope in America to forget his sorrow after discovering that his fiancée is about to marry someone else."Hope Springs" is a light-hearted, bubbly, energetic and fun comedy. The story is vibrantly fun and engaging. It successfully balances between the typically English polite long-winded dialog and vibrant fun. These polar opposites clash together and create great chemistry. The main characters, Mandy and Colin are likable and sweet, which is essential in an enjoyable romantic comedy. I enjoyed watching "Hope Springs" a lot, I think it deserved to be a commercial success.
