PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"What could have been strained farce or, worse, geezer porn, morphs instead into a film of hilarious and heartfelt pleasures (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Peter Travers: Rolling Stone)

----------------------------------------
"Sometimes a serviceable story is elevated by a masterstroke of casting. In "Hope Springs," it's two masterstrokes (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Colin Covert: Minneapolis Star Tribune )

----------------------------------------
"An awkward cross between a domestic comedy and a marital tragedy that's laced with laughs, soggy with tears and burdened by a booming, blunt soundtrack that amplifies every narrative beat" (Manohla Dargis: The New York Times)

----------------------------------------
"It's gratifying to see a movie that doesn't have anything to do with superheroics or the end of the world, merely ordinary heroics of the human heart (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Michael Phillips: Chicago Tribune)

----------------------------------------
"A minor miracle of a movie (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Ann Hornaday: The Washington Post)
