Review of Hope Springs (2012) by Ib4Est — 21 Apr 2013

I've been married for 20 years. I can see my future in this movie if I don't hold on to the passion and values I currently have in my marriage. Tommy and Meryl have been two of the worst actors that I have come not to appreciate (sorry but it's MY opinion of them) but in this, very realistic depiction of a story, they won my heart back.

I watched movie this cuddling with my wife, begging her to slap me up side the head if I ever start to act like Arnold (or Kay for that matter). What a great look into the future of mundane, settle for marriages if you let it happen that way.

I am not a fan of rom-com-drama what-evers but this completely surprised me with it's relatble and realistic story. I'm truly a Meryl and Tommy fan again and my wife and I made a vow to never let our relationship get to this point.

And if we do, we both understand if we go talk to a Steve Carrel (spot on performance) about it, we won't hold it against each other. What a great, "really" feel good movie. Rare for Hollywood these days.
