Title: Yawn, the Sequel
Product review: I expected a movie about two late-lifers trying to spark passion that had grown cold over the years of marriage. What Hope Springs presents is a story about two boring old fuddy duddies who were once two young boring fuddy duddies who never had much passion or spark to begin with. Meryly Streep was sexier in her Julia Childs' role, although she and Tommy Lee Jones deliver well drawn comedic profiles and make the movie watchable, even funny at times. Steve Carrel is wasted as the shrink. Too bad. Hope Springs needed an interesting subplot to give it the double-shot of Geritol with a Jack chaser that it needed.
