Synopsis

In this charming romantic comedy, British artist Colin Ware (Colin Firth) discovers that his fiancee, 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. Based on the novel 'New Cardiff' by Charles Webb, HOPE SPRINGS is about finding happiness where you least expect it.
