PREVIEW: Hope Springs

From New York born director David Frankel who's many credits include The Devil Wears Prada and Marley and Me, along with TV shows such as Entourage and Sex and the City. Frankel brings us his new rom-com Hope Springs.

Always linked with hi-profile Hollywood stars throughout his career with the likes of Owen Wilson, Steve Martin and Anne Hathaway to name a few. Hope Springs adds several more high profile stars to Frankel's list with multi-winning Meryl Steep and Tommy Lee Jones taking the lead roles his new funny journey of the re-ignition of love.

Streep and Jones play long married middle aged couple Kay and Arnold who's marriage has hit severe roadwork's. Arnold watches Golf and does nothing at home while Kay waits on him hand and foot, cooking and cleaning whilst trying her up most to keep the relationship ticking over.  Kay is eager to rekindle their relationship and in a last ditch attempt books a £4,000 trip for an intensive couples counselling week with Dr Feld (Steve Carell).  Jones is great playing the stubborn middle-aged man determined not to open up whilst Streep puts in a fine performance trying her best to lure Arnold back towards her charms.  With multiple laugh out loud moments, peeking with Arnold's fatasies and Kay's encounter with a banana.

Hope Springs is a film for everyone especially those who are looking for that little something to re-ignite that flame.
