Last Chance and Missed.

Now, I didn't have a clue what the film was about but Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson is a great sell, Thompson is always golden, see I Am Legend, awful film, good intro. So here Hoffman is going to London from New York to his daughter's wedding, and he has one last chance to keep his job making jingles if he misses the reception, decisions decisions, of course when he is bumped from giving his daughter away in place of her step-dad, he runs off, but misses the flight due to traffic, and hangs out with Emma Thompson, an aging woman with nothing in her life except than annoying mother she loves.

Cue lots of walks and talks around London in a Before Sunrise kind of golden age style, talking about nothing and moaning about life, crying, being dramatic, gentle whimsy for the elders to enjoy, screening was packed with hundreds of 65+'s and none of them stopped talking during the film, no manners old people these days.

There's nothing here sadly, the plot is limited and cliched, the predictability is horribly extreme, the acting is almost completely awful except the two leads, and nothing is really good about the film, that said it's well made and looks good, especially for a clearly guerilla-shot series of scenes of walks and talks down the South Bank, even though the extras walk by more times than continuity allows and the leads are evidentially slow at walking, though getting to places in time is fine and dandy.
