I just came back from seeing Hope Springs – wonderful movie.
Just as you would expect it to be, I think, no real plot “surprises” or deep plot lines, exactly what it says it’s about. As expected, fantastic acting by Meryl and Tommy Lee. While Meryl was her usual-fabulous self, I have to say, I think Tommy Lee stole the movie.
Enjoyable and uplifting with a very realistic portrayal of a real, long term marriage.

Thanks for sharing. I have had pets all my life and letting go never gets easy. I put down my last little sweety at age 8. It was so unexpected. She kept getting sick and the last time at the vet the visit ended in my leaving my little Chloe at the c
My husband and i went to see it this evening,and it was a great movie!!!
It did get me to thinking…as a married couple of some many years,we so often over look things that really matter..we have to learn to reconnect to each other….were finding that out now too,as when the kids leave home,you forget how to communicate to each other,and have fun again…it was a wonderful movie,and informative,and very open and blank,to the point about how to love again!!!!

My husband and I had just signed up for a couple’s workshop at John Gottman and his wife Julie’s home. It was held on Orcas Is., a beautiful spot in the northwest. At that same time, coincidentally, the trailer for “Hope Springs” was released! How funny! As I said, in another post, while flying out there, I felt like Meryl Streep with Tommy sitting by my side! My sons are still teasing us!
The workshop was great! We covered his book “Seven Principles For Making Marriage Work”and I recommend it highly! ‘Sex’ was covered, but not quite like it was shown in the movie!
That scene with Meryl in the bathroom cracked me up! She is such a funny lady!
My husband of 35 years and I saw this today. Many parts spoke to me and when we drove home my husband grabbed my hand and said I need to work on some things. He has known this for a while and I just quit asking. So we’ll see! Really enjoyed the movie and yes Tommy was great, and I always enjoy Meryl. Lots of relevant points that can and do speak to long term marriage. Our marriage isn’t bad by any means, but it could use a tune up.
