Last Chance Harvey (2009) scores a combined 2.25 out of 4 stars for One Guy's Opinion (Frank Swietek)One Guy's Opinion (Frank Swietek)
Thanks to the London locations and cinematographer John de Bormans expert use of them, Last Chance Harvey is a nice-looking picture, and editor Robin Sales keeps it moving at a pleasant clip. ...read the complete Last Chance Harvey movie review at One Guy's Opinion (Frank Swietek)
Last Chance Harvey (2009) scores a combined 2.25 out of 4 stars for The Detroit NewsThe Detroit News
That "Last Chance Harvey" has generated undeserved awards buzz is tribute to the respect Hoffman and Thompson command. ...read the complete Last Chance Harvey movie review at The Detroit News
Last Chance Harvey (2009) scores a combined 2.25 out of 4 stars for Denton Record-ChronicleDenton Record-Chronicle
While their budding attachment grows, director Hopkins shuttles us around London, attending weddings, walking by the Thames and taking various other touristy jaunts. But even the pleasant travelogue takes a back seat to this im­probable journey of love. ...read the complete Last Chance Harvey movie review at Denton Record-Chronicle
Last Chance Harvey (2009) scores a combined 2.25 out of 4 stars for Movie Retriever (Brian Tallerico)Movie Retriever (Brian Tallerico)
Having said that, there's so little to relatively new writer/director Joel Hopkins' screenplay for Last Chance Harvey that one wonders what it would have been without actors as talented as Hoffman and Thompson in the least roles. ...read the complete Last Chance Harvey movie review at Movie Retriever (Brian Tallerico)
Last Chance Harvey (2009) scores a combined 2.25 out of 4 stars for Examiner.comExaminer.com
Without Hoffman and Thompson, in fact, this slight little movie might be one to avoide. ...read the complete Last Chance Harvey movie review at Examiner.com

Instead, the film settles for surface-deep examinations only. ...read the complete Last Chance Harvey movie review at Colorado Springs Gazette (Brandon Fibbs)
Last Chance Harvey (2009) scores a combined 2.00 out of 4 stars for Las Vegas WeeklyLas Vegas Weekly
The last 20 minutes ratchet up the clichés: the contrived misunderstanding, the mad dash to the airport, the declaration of love. It’s completely banal in its predictability, and equally so in execution. Falling in love has never been so dull. ...read the complete Last Chance Harvey movie review at Las Vegas Weekly
Last Chance Harvey (2009) scores a combined 2.00 out of 4 stars for The Baltimore SunThe Baltimore Sun
This movie is genial, forgettable piffle about the perhaps-beginning of a maybe affair. It's a romantic daydream so slim that it barely leaves the requisite sweet aftertaste. ...read the complete Last Chance Harvey movie review at The Baltimore Sun
Last Chance Harvey (2009) scores a combined 2.00 out of 4 stars for Charlotte Observer (Lawrence Toppman)Charlotte Observer (Lawrence Toppman)
I suppose one could say the ages of the participants makes this unusual, but even there the film follows convention: The 71-year-old Hoffman and 49-year-old Thompson are treated as equals, with no mention of the discrepancy between them. ...read the complete Last Chance Harvey movie review at Charlotte Observer (Lawrence Toppman)
Last Chance Harvey (2009) scores a combined 2.00 out of 4 stars for The Globe and MailThe Globe and Mail
For all the talk about the tyranny of baby boomers, films about middle-aged romance are remarkably uncommon, but Last Chance Harvey squanders a good opportunity. ...read the complete Last Chance Harvey movie review at The Globe and Mail

But just as Harvey and Kate come to realize about their own empty little lives, Hoffman and Thompson deserve better. ...read the complete Last Chance Harvey movie review at CTV
Last Chance Harvey (2009) scores a combined 2.00 out of 4 stars for The Onion A.V. ClubThe Onion A.V. Club
If nothing else, Last Chance Harvey proves that you're never too old to be the subject of a zany trying-on-dresses montage, but considering the prestige of its leads, that's a minor victory at best. ...read the complete Last Chance Harvey movie review at The Onion A.V. Club
Last Chance Harvey (2009) scores a combined 2.00 out of 4 stars for Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)
The film looks terrific but sounds as banal as its schmaltzy plotline, but at least there's a few laughs and some good London sights that don't include Big Ben to make it almost bearable. ...read the complete Last Chance Harvey movie review at Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)
Last Chance Harvey (2009) scores a combined 2.00 out of 4 stars for Time Out New York (Joshua Rothkopf)Time Out New York (Joshua Rothkopf)
Two old pros romantically tango in a heartwarming plot about lifes third acts and if manners dictate that I mention that Emma Thompson is much younger that Dustin Hoffman, neither actor is green to the idea of infusing painfully stock material with h ...read the complete Last Chance Harvey movie review at Time Out New York (Joshua Rothkopf)
Last Chance Harvey (2009) scores a combined 1.75 out of 4 stars for Nick Schager Film Project (Nick Schager)Nick Schager Film Project (Nick Schager)
It is mildly refreshing that Last Chance Harvey is not tween-minded, but that does not mean this adult rom-com is smart, funny or moving. ...read the complete Last Chance Harvey movie review at Nick Schager Film Project (Nick Schager)
Last Chance Harvey (2009) scores a combined 1.50 out of 4 stars for Richmond.comRichmond.com
I can appreciate the random moments of gut-wrenching awkwardness as Harvey courts Kate, especially contrasted with the cliché splatter-paint approach most rom-coms take. ...read the complete Last Chance Harvey movie review at Richmond.com
Last Chance Harvey (2009) scores a combined 1.50 out of 4 stars for Slant Magazine (Ed Gonzalez)Slant Magazine (Ed Gonzalez)
One reacts to Joel Hopkins's Last Chance Harvey with about the same level of revulsion directed at its titular character by the people around him. ...read the complete Last Chance Harvey movie review at Slant Magazine (Ed Gonzalez)
Last Chance Harvey (2009) scores a combined 1.50 out of 4 stars for filmcritic.com (Chris Barsanti)filmcritic.com (Chris Barsanti)
A film so mild-mannered it only occasionally registers a pulse, Joel Hopkins' Last Chance Harvey is best viewed as proof that not all filmed entertainment these days is nihilistic and grim. ...read the complete Last Chance Harvey movie review at filmcritic.com (Chris Barsanti)

Last Chance Harvey (2009) scores a combined 1.50 out of 4 stars for Creative LoafingCreative Loafing
Last Chance Harvey is the sort of insipid romantic comedy that, had it starred a pair of 20-somethings or 30-somethings, would be instantly dismissed by one and all. ...read the complete Last Chance Harvey movie review at Creative Loafing
