Watching Hoffman and Thompson tentatively discover each other is joyously tender.

Sure, it's predictable at times, and maybe even a little sappy, but overall it's a sweet movie about genuine human emotion.

These two actors are so strong that in the end we are left with a sweet and a tender movie.

rotten:
All this gloomy masochism is made palatable because of the performers. And yet we must ask: Is this any way to show off two of our finest actors?

fresh:
Nimble dialogue, a brace of insightful moments and a slightly chocolate-box view of our city, lend 'Last Chance Harvey' a warmth and wisdom which outshine the more timeworn elements of the screenplay.
