Description:
In London for the daughter he barely knows, Harvey is having a rough few days. His family has replaced him with a stepfather who is always there to help, when he is not, and his job is slipping away towards a younger, hip generation. Then he meets Kate in the airport bar. Can Harvey redeem himself through one last chance and possible find romance along the way or will he do what he has always done and lose everything he holds dear?
Review:
Honestly reading the title of this movie I was nervous. It's one of those titles that just screamed to me "can't end well" and because of my assumptions it took me a while to even watch the movie. However I am happy to report that I am completely happy to be wrong in this case. Though the movie does hold some predictable parts, the acting was amazing from both Emma and Dustin, which you would expect from A listers like these, and from other members of the cast that I am unfamiliar with. The humor was witty, the emotion cut deep and the drama was worthy of an applause. The movie ends the way you hope it will, with some twists along the way. All in all a great movie, not original or completely bad, but somewhere in between. If you are looking for a good emotional type movie, then I would recommend this one. Action/Fantasty/Sci-Fi buffs should avoid this one.
Thank you for reading,
