Distraught and... In this charming romantic comedy, British artist Colin Ware (COLIN FIRTH) discovers that his fiancée, Vera (MINNIE DRIVER), the love of his life, is going to marry another man. Distraught and despondent, he gets on a plane for America and ends up in the tiny town of Hope in New England. At first, Colin is depressed, but he soon finds more than a shoulder to cry on when his innkeepers introduce him to Mandy (HEATHER GRAHAM), a beautiful nurse. All's going well and Colin has almost forgotten his old flame… until Vera suddenly shows up with a surprise of her own. "Hope Springs" is about finding happiness where you least expect it. [More]

We see a relationship that doesn't seem to have any reason for being, or even any joy.

Hope Springs went straight to video after being savaged by critics and audiences in the UK, and that's about where it belongs.

Ultimately it's the wholly unbelievable -- and frankly, impossible -- story that makes Hope Springs fail to work in virtually every scene.

Somehow it can't make the leap from an enjoyable light film to a movie to remember.
