Movie Reviews of Regarding Henry
Movie Review: Regarding Henry
Summary: 4 Stars
Much over looked Harrison Ford film.
Great script with Harrison playing against his usual action characters!
Good job by Annet Benning.
Movie Review: Warm Blanket, Fire, and a Rainy day
Summary: 4 Stars
This film is only good with three different ingredients: a Warm Blanket, Fire, and a Rainy day.Movie Review: improbable, yet predictable
Summary: 3 Stars
If you enjoy touching stories with happy endings and are willing to suspend disbelief, this can be an enjoyable movie. I did enjoy it, but all the way through I had to suppress thoughts like: Yeah, right. Like that would ever happen. No one behaves like that.
All the Hollywood cliche characters behaved in Hollywood cliche fashion. Maybe that is a requirement for a "good" story, but they could at least behave like real people when it's not needed to advance the story line.
For example, try watching a kid who is learning to read and see how he would sound out an unfamiliar word. Trust me, it would not be the same way that Henry did. I have to wonder if Hollywood writers ever get out and observe actual human beings.
Movie Review: AT LEAST THE FILM'S HEART IS IN THE RIGHT PLACE..
Summary: 3 Stars
A hotshot, hyper-workaholic lawyer finds himself in the middle of an accidental shootout, loses his memory, and lo and behold, his world goes topsy turvy. Quite predictably, as is the case with pretty much every scene in this feel-good Oscar bait, the man turns over a new leaf, becomes a good father, a conscientious husband and a decent human being. Yawn. The movie's slowly unfurling narrative and its high predictability levels could have made it a skippable fare, but Ford's rendition of amnesia is moving, and Annette Bening's performance is very impressive. An occasional saving grace is also the music, if you have an ear for that kind of stuff.
Recommended rental.
Movie Review: Just OK
Summary: 3 Stars
Solid performances by Harrison Ford and Annette Bening prevent this movie from becoming cheap melodrama, but the actors are unable to rise above a screenplay that's a little too sweet for its own good. The directing is unremarkable, a surprise coming from someone as talented as Mike Nichols.
