Hope Springs

We saw this movie a week ago and I'm still not sure what I think. The acting is excellent, as one would expect from the great Meryl Streep (Bridges of Madison County) and the also great Tommy Lee Jones (TV's Mickey Mouse Club, 1960's - 'c u real soon', but really The Fugitive). Steve Carell (Dan in Real Life) was okay. Brief cameo by Elizabeth Shue (The Saint) was nice, as I haven't seen much of her recently.

The theme, initially, is about the sex-life of two fifty- or sixty-somethings, which can be awkward. It turns into more than that, being a commentary on their marriage and relationship. And it's well done, I think.

I'm just not sure I'd like to see it again.
