Hope Springs
Kay (Meryl Streep) and Arnold (Tommy Lee Jones) are a devoted couple, but decades of marriage have left Kay wanting to spice things up and reconnect with her husband. When she hears of a renowned couple's specialist (Steve Carell) in the small town of Great Hope Springs, she attempts to persuade her skeptical husband, a steadfast man of routine, to get on a plane for a week of marriage therapy. Just convincing the stubborn Arnold to go on the retreat is hard enough – the real challenge for both of them comes as they shed their bedroom hang-ups and try to re-ignite the spark that caused them to fall for each other in the first place. Source: IMDB Saw the previews for this one today, and I think I'll enjoy it. While I don't think this is a movie for everyone, it is one I think will be a hit. It sort of has that 'couples comedy' ring to it. I'm a big Meryl Streep fan, so for me that sealed the deal automatically. However, I enjoy most of Steve Carell's movies as well, and seeing as how I've never seen these two work together and I think this may be the first time [if anyone has any references of the duo in anything else together, please do tell], I'm looking forward to seeing how they play off of each other on-screen [as Streep is sort of 'passive' comedic and Carell is an obvious 'laugh-out-loud' funnyman]. Everyone gets to a point in their relationship where they want to spice things up, if only a little bit - and so this film's concept really interests me. I love that fact that the characters are older as well - movies like this seem to work better and hold more depth when the character's have years of history. For me, this is more of a OnDemand or Blockbuster kiosk rental though, rather than seeing the film in theaters. Are you excited to see Streep on-screen again? Do You Plan On Seeing Hope Springs?

Hoping to get a chance to see this , looks really good. Streep is one of my favorite actresses, and it looks really funny. Need to check if it is playing in my town, might have to go see it with my mom or something.
