 Mick LaSalle of the "San Francisco Chronicle" observed, "One's enjoyment of "Last Chance Harvey" will depend on how suitable one considers the pairing of these characters and how felicitous one considers the pairing of these performers.The latter is most important, because if you enjoy Hoffman and Thompson together, you might be able to overlook the ghastly prospect of poor Kate's throwing her life away on this guy.To be sure, Thompson and Hoffman are watchable and engaging, and that counts for something.
