DUSTIN Hoffman and Emma Thompson prove it's never too late for romance in comedy LAST CHANCE HARVEY (12A).
New Yorker Harvey Shine is on the verge of losing his dead-end job as a jingle writer.
Warned by his boss that he has just one more chance to deliver, Harvey goes to London for a weekend to attend his daughter's wedding but promises to be back on Monday morning to make an important meeting - or else.
But when he arrives in England, he discovers his daughter has chosen to have her stepfather walk her down the aisle.
Harvey heads back to the airport, where he strikes up a conversation with Kate, a sensitive, 40-something whose life is limited to work, the occasional humiliating blind date and endless phone calls from her smothering mother.
The growing connection between the pair inspires both as they unexpectedly transform one another's lives.
