Movie #660 ........................."Hope Springs"

Movie #660 "Hope Springs"is a very different film, full of a lot of "real" moments, but I have to say I can't remember feeling so uncomfortable for such a long time as in this film. Because these two actors are so very good (actually, make that 3 because Carell is good, too) that they play each scene to the hilt --- and it is so awkward that the audience is constantly put into the "uncomfortable" zone. This is a movie that you should have a crawl periodically appear at the bottom of the screen that says something like: if this is getting too uncomfortable, this is the scene you could leave to go to the bathroom ---- and that would have made this more successful for me! And let me say that this is wrongly rated as PG-13 because there is no way teens should see this film. Too early for them, in my opinion, lots of adult situations. LOTS! And these two actors do not shy away from anything! I give Streep and Jones credit. They bear all ---- there's no glamour hollywood actors here at all --- they look like your mother and father, and maybe that's what makes it so uncomfortable. Just to think...........well, enough said.
