Review of Hope Springs (2012) by Bobdea — 30 Aug 2012
Just because "Hope Springs" has well known stars with historically big box office draw does not a good movie make. Merrill Streep is OK in her part but Tommy Lee Jones is bad for this movie. Just like Clint Eastwood in "Bridges" he is totally miscast.
He (and Clint) has one persona and a whipped salaryman is not it. Then the dialog- it is slow and over the top sexual, making everyone in the theater squirm and occasionally issue nervous giggles. Not recommended by me.
Bridges had some redeeming qualities and I watched it several times over the years but this is "hopelessly broken springs".
