Dustin Hoffman’s Latest Film Breaks Boomer Stereotypes

By Dan Gould on January 16, 2009

Savvy Boomer shares some interesting observations about a new, trend bucking film titled Last Chance Harvey. It’s a romantic movie that stars Dustin Hoffman as 60-something man, who in the midst of dealing with a storm of personal problems, falls for Emma Thompson’s character. Savvy Boomer views this kind of story, one which focuses on the details and ups and downs of a baby boomer’s life is a genre that will be expanding in popularity.

They explain:

This genre of movie is probably going to become more popular as the industry realizes that boomers have their favorite actors who are aging as well.  The nice thing here is that the movie is about the lives of the older characters, not just about them being someone’s grandparent or mentor.
