Last Chance Harvey is the sort of insipid romantic comedy that, had it starred a pair of 20-somethings or 30-somethings, would be instantly dismissed by one and all. But because it stars two seasoned performers -- Oscar winners, both -- it will be championed in some quarters as a sweet look at how older folks can actually -- are you ready? -- enjoy many of the same things as the young'uns. See them flirt! See them dance! See them fall in love!
