Dustin & Judi “Trot” In Roald Dahl
Starring Dustin Hoffman and Judi Dench, this was a warm, witty and whimsical adaptation of The BBC’s adaptation of Roald Dahl’s 1990 novel, “Esio Trot,” is called “warm, witty and whimsical” by the Telegraph, but it looks pretty damn twee to me. No word as to when we Yanks will be able to see the thing. The plot: Slow, wrinkly Mr. Hoppy (Hoffman) lived a quiet life in his London flat: planning fishing trips and tending his garden. That is, until he was brought out of his shell by new neighbor, Mrs Silver (La Dench), with whom he fell secretly in love.
