Movie Reviews of Regarding Henry
Movie Review: Hard people to like.
Summary: 2 Stars
The film has its amusing and even touching points, but not very many. The big problem with RH is that neither Ford or Benning are sympathetic characters. Henry is just the kind of self-important, ego-bloated, smug, arrogant, cold-blooded corporate ass that's helped step on working people for real, so it's really hard to feel anything for him, shot or not. He's arrogant even with a gun pointed at him, and the fact that it takes a bullet in his brain to even make him consider acting human is, if you think about it, appalling. And his wife is, in a way, even worse; she accepts his character so she can have all the material things it buys and status is provides. She goes into a panic when she thinks they may have to give anything up, and doesn't become "normal" ntil much later. Only their daughter has any heart at all. Maybe a better ending would've been Henry's not making it, Bening going nuts from losing her stuff, and the kid being placed in a foster home with the kind of people her parents should've been from day one. Barely watchable.Movie Review: what do I want in life?
Summary: 1 Stars
Do I want money, power, sex, what? What's going to make me happy? There are many movies on this theme, this is a good one. Harrison Ford is a high powered, successful lawyer, who's life takes a sudden turn, and he doesn't remember (think "Samantha Who?") A very different role for Harrison; I think he played it well.
