## Description

Romantic drama starring Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson. Harvey Shine (Hoffman) is one of life's losers. A would-be jazz pianist, he earns his living in a dead-end job writing advertising jingles. When he flies to London for his daughter's wedding, he is dismayed to learn that his daughter would prefer her stepfather (James Brolin) to walk her down the aisle. While drowning his sorrows, Harvey meets Kate (Thompson), a 40-something employee of the National Office for Statistics whose life has hithero been limited to work, the occasional humiliating blind date and endless phone calls from her smothering mother (Eileen Atkins). Despite numerous setbacks and misunderstandings, a gradual connection forms between Kate and Harvey that will transform both of their lives.

Review: Its been a long time - I cant remember the last time a watched a movie that was so simple yet rather genius in a way. Sweet and romantic without most of the junk every single romantic movie has. It was mature but fun, and not once was there anything more intimate than a small kiss. There was kindness in their getting to know each other and that was actually a relief to see. They start out with sadness in their life that so many of us can relate to and their 'romance' wasn't whirlwind or over the top, but pleasant, enjoyable and relatable. I really enjoyed this movie.
Review: More Than A Friend - Harvey Shine (Dustin Hoffman) is a kind man. Although he had dreamed of becoming a jazz pianist, he writes jingles for a living and he has done his job well for many years. Because of his age, his boss, Marvin, treats him as if he's no longer an asset to the company, suggesting that he stay in London (Harvey's daughter is getting married there) for a while instead of rushing back to work. Kate Walker (Emma Thompson) works for the Public Statistics Agency in the airport and makes a living taking surveys from any arriving passenger who will allow her to ask the questions. She has a friend who tries to play matchmaker and a mother who craves her attention, phoning her constantly when they are apart. And Kate's mother Maggie (Eileen Atkins) has her own little storyline. She had an active imagination but I could understand why she thought what she did. This woman amused me. I felt bad for Harvey and Kate in the beginning because they seemed so alone in the world. Harvey was treated like an outcast at his daughter's wedding and that bothered me. And when his daughter gave him news that hurt him to his heart, I hurt right along with him. I was so glad when he found his voice at the reception. The toast he made brought tears to my eyes. And Kate -it seemed she was just going through the motions of life. When these two people got together I was so happy for them. They were lovable people even though they didn't seem to think so and they were good for each other. No graphic sex scenes, no violence and not much profanity (did get carried away with the `s' word for a little while there). When this movie was really getting good, it was over and that was disappointing. I wish it would have been longer. I really enjoyed it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful movie in a suffering genre
*by L***E on July 11, 2009*

More than a bit like Before Sunrise for the mature adult set, this film is charming and poignant. Excellent performances abound from the cast. If anything, this is a movie about hope. Life can twist and turn in delightful ways if you don't give up, and if you look for opportunities right for you. Lately, romantic comedies and dramas seem to have become extremely cliched and banal. While this film is rather formulaic, it strays from type in that the two lead characters are older, and also that the romance is almost a subplot to Harvey finding a way back to a purposeful life again. It doesn't hurt, that as a 30-something woman, I found Dustin Hoffman to be quite good-looking as Harvey, he's aged well. I also admire Emma Thompson in almost anything she is in. This would be a good choice for an older couple looking for a romantic movie to share together or for a girls night movie. Romance can exist no matter when or where!
