Plot Summary
New Yorker Harvey Shine (Academy-Award®-winner Dustin Hoffman) is on the verge of losing his dead-end job as a jingle writer. Warned by his boss (Richard Schiff) that he has just one more chance to deliver, Harvey goes to London for a weekend wedding for his daughter but promises to be back on Monday. When he misses the plane and is fired on the spot, Harvey strikes up a conversation with Kate (Academy-Award®-winner Emma Thompson), a slightly prickly, 40-something employee of the Office of National Statistics. Thus, through the devastation of Harvey’s life, a new romance is born.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: These two actors are so strong that in the end we are left with a sweet and a tender movie.
Fresh: Sure, it's predictable at times, and maybe even a little sappy, but overall it's a sweet movie about genuine human emotion.
Fresh: Undemanding, observant and beautifully performed, this is Richard Curtis-lite with added reassurance: no challenging questions here.
Rotten: This bittersweet, autumnal heartwarmer about two middle-aged people getting a last chance at love and happiness exceeded my personal tolerance factor for gloop and gush - but not by too much.
