I was at the packed Panton Street last night too, with what feels like quite a small screen - as so used to bigger screens, these days! :D

Just love Tommy Lee Jones grumpy old man, and Meryl Streep always excellent. I particularly liked the scenes on the therapists coach, the facial expressions of all the characters, and Steve Carrell, playing it straight, and their dialogue exchanges, brilliant. The film did make me feel how blessed I am with my OH. ;) 7/10

Thank you for the code OP! It was a good movie, but we felt that it needed more comedy, that's what we expected from the trailer really.

SB - didn't see you there!
And there were only 4 people there, I counted, without white hair including me and OH, so how did I miss you?
It was OK film. Loved Tommy Lee Jones' facial expressions - added to the film enormously.
Scenery looked pretty.

This was like a comedy, but without the funny bits.
Great Maine scenery, but actors kept getting in the way.
I found this so monotonous.
Beryl Streep looked great, but who else thought Timmy Lee Jones looked like a tortoise! Maybe he was wearing a prosthetic mask?
Might have been more tolerable had it been about 20 minutes in duration.
I'm guessing it was more up the street of the telegraph reading cotton-tops.
Not for me.

Hopeless Springs
