All that's missing are commercials for estrogen cream and erectile-dysfunction meds.

Streep fans, I think you're going to enjoy this one. I know I did.

Tom Charity, CNN.com
Rotten

The film, a rehab job on a beached marriage, displays the most tender respect, the most exquisite tact, and yet it would be completely unwatchable -- an outright embarrassment -- with any other actors than Tommy Lee Jones and Meryl Streep.

David Denby, New Yorker

It's tough to come up with new superlatives for Meryl Streep, but the 63-year-old actress delivers her most frankly sexual performance yet in Hope Springs.

Rafer Guzman, Newsday

Streep is warm, and she's got the timing of a stand-up. Her performance demands you bat for her woman.

Cath Clarke, Time Out
