Reviews
Empire - Very funny, it's also penetrating on the ravages of time on love and marriage and sweetly touching, but with abundantly incongruous randy content to heartily amuse., The A.V. Club - HOPE SPRINGS handles marriage and advanced-age sexuality with a refreshing, down-to-earth candor. In today's Hollywood, that counts as radical., Salon.com - HOPE SPRINGS is an oddly ambitious blend of bland humor and startling insight into the realities of married life. It's something like Ingmar Bergman's "SCENES FROM A MARRIAGE," as translated into the universe of the Lifetime Network.

Additional Information
An aging couple strive to conquer their sexual hang-ups and save their 30-year marriage from going stale by visiting a renowned couple's therapist in this comedy from director David Frankel (THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, MARLEY AND ME). After three decades of marriage, Kay (Meryl Streep) and Arnold (Tommy Lee Jones) still love each other deeply. But somewhere along the way, their passion for one another seems to have perished. Upon learning about a relationship therapist (Steve Carell) in Great Hope Springs whose methods have yielded incredible results, Kay pleads with Arnold to sign up for a weeklong session. Little does the committed couple realise that overcoming years of sexual repression will prove to be quite an exhausting challenge.
