BUY THIS MOVIE!!.

Rating: 5
There are so many good and funny things about this movie!! I've watched it several times after purchase, many time with a bottle of wine, friends and some good chocolate.

The characters are enjoyable. This is one role that i thought colin Firth would never do, and after watching it, no one else could have done it better than Colin. A brit coming to America after a break up to a town called Hope. The things that Heather's character makes him do, its just to funny to put in words and would actually ruin the movie, which i wont do. Minnie Driver! Bloody Brillant as always!! Long live the queen of Hope Springs....

The towns people of Hope Springs grows on you too. The couple that owns the store, the elderly at the nursing home, and not to mention the owners of the motel colin stays at.

great movie.

Rating: 5
This movie is very refreshing and funny. I recommend it highly to anyone who simply likes a romantic comedy. Colin is wonderful and quite quirky in this film and it is a must see if you are a fan.

Colin Firth makes a cookie into an eclair!.

Rating: 4
I bought Hope Springs because I haven't yet found a Colin Firth film I didn't like, and I wasn't disappointed. I would rate it five stars, except that the script, some of the accompanying cast, and other "filmological" features don't match the quality of some other Firth films. If you're interested in a recent 5-star, try "The Advocate" or "Love, Actually". But the film was a very enjoyable experience on its own, and Firth takes an emotional cretin and makes him into an emotional genius during the course of the story, always a satisfying journey.

Funny and lighthearted..

Rating: 4
It's good to see Colin Firth in a comedy. He does a good job as the broken hearted artist. Heather Graham, guzzling alcohol wasn't a positive thing.
The owners of the Motel in Hope Springs were great! Mary Steenburgen as always is great. It's a movie you can watch ever so often and not get tired of it.

A poor movie ....

Rating: 1
I like Colin Firth and Minnie Driver .... in other movies. They are both wasted in this movie, which asks us to suspend rational thought to such an extreme extent that when something actually happens in the plot, the viewer could care less.

Skip this one. Watch something else.
