Elliyani's profile

Elliyani is a lot of different things. She's nice and mean, friendly and aloof, logical and insane, wary and daring; you get the drift. So let's skip her schizo personality and move on to her likes and dislikes. She likes salty food (hates sour food), stroking teddy bears (hates touching those filthy metal railings on public transport) and gaming (hates mopping), among many other things. Contrary to what this short biography might suggest, she actually prefers to write in short sentences. Go figure.

A genuine and refreshing take on the clichéd romantic comedy genre, Last Chance Harvey tells the story of New Yorker Harvey, played by Dustin Hoffman (The Holiday) after his divorce and when his jingle-writing job is in jeopardy.

His life falls apart when his daughter Susan, played by Liane Balaban (Definitely, Maybe), would rather her stepfather – not Harvey – give her away at her wedding.

To drown his sorrows, he heads down to a local pub, where he meets Kate, played by Emma Thompson (Nanny McPhee), a woman who’s more than happy to be single. With his flair, Harvey charms Kate and makes her think twice about who she is.
