A refreshingly sweet, intelligent and funny take on the timeless boy meets girl story, "Last Chance Harvey" matches an outsider divorced dad (Dustin Hoffman) in London for his daughter's wedding with a spinsterish marketing interviewer with literary ambitions (Emma Thompson). The story is far from original, but the dialog and characterizations, especially Thompson's, are a delight. British writer / director Joel Hopkins shows a deft hand with characters and makes good use of London locations, where he somewhat miraculously seems to have had a good run of sunny days for his outside shots. Rated PG-13. 92 minutes. Joel Hopkins - Director / Writer (writer), Tim Perell - Producer, Nicola Usborne - Producer, John de Borman - Cinematographer, Dickon Hinchliffe - Composer, Jon Henson - Production Designer, Robin Sales - Editor. Produced by Overture Films.
Principal actors: Dustin Hoffman, Emma Thompson, Kathy Baker, James Brolin, Eileen Atkins, Richard Schiff, and Liane Balaban.
