Watch Regarding Henry For Free

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

I have read the multiple low ratings given to this film by the likes of Ebart and others. My response is somewhat simple, but first I have to concede that I watch drama films not as documentaries. ALL fiction is contrived. So what?What is special to me about this film is that Harrison Ford plays the character rather well. I am an emergency physician, and I know that a gun shot wound to the head, if survivable, is fraught with life changing effects. However, this is NOT the point of the movie.To me, the point of the movie is to reflect on MY humanity (or lack thereof). By watching his character go through rehab and, ultimately, arrive at his own sense of what he wants to be, I feel vindicated, in my mind, because I have become the person who I want to be. It IS personal to me! Not my job, not any wealth, but the essence of who I am, stripped from all the material passions confronting this world we live in. I have lived long enough to appreciate what is important to me. I am lucky enough to have discovered this quite long ago. Those who are unable to appreciate their own humanity AND humility are the truly poor among us.Who among us wants our epitaph to read "He made a lot of money!"?

This is possibly the worst movie about traumatic brain injury (TBI) ever made. As a former speech therapist who worked with children and adults recovering from TBI I was appalled at the lack of apparent research in preparation for the film. Nichols and Ford were so far off the mark it was embarrassingly silly. Example: For person recovering language it's a bad idea to swamp them with so much language that all words become a meaningless string of sounds. It's the same as dropping a non-swimmer in the ocean knowing all that water is going to teach him to swim. The physical therapist was probably the worst and any self respecting speech therapist would've told him to be quiet. The plot is simple predictable and unmoving.why this director would take these actors and toss them into a dramatic ocean and expect them to swim without direction is as silly as their depiction of recovering from TBI.

Regarding HenryWho needs memories when we have thousands of photographs of every event in our lives stored on our computers?Still, the memory loss suffer in this drama would like to regain his recall.Forgetting his cold-heartedness after being shot in the head during a convenient store robbery, high-powered attorney Henry (Harrison Ford) finds himself relying on his neglected wife (Annette Bening) and distant daughter for the first-time in his selfish life.Initially unaware of his former foulness, Henry forges new relationships with both women.When his past becomes clearer, however, he starts to see the flaws in his former existence and sets out to right them. Handcrafted to evoke feels of sentimentality, this J.J. Abrams scripted redemption tale relies too heavily on feel-good father-daughter moments and Dickensian epiphanies to progress its engaging but predictable narrative.Incidentally, the best person to jog an amnesiac's memory is someone who owes them money.Yellow Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca

The movie is rather well directed, well scored, well played with a special mention for the daughter and the trainer but the story is just unrealistic. I know it has been written by mister Abrams (who does a cameo) but the story he wants us to believe has nothing to do with the real life. As too many Hollywood desk writers, the characters have no connection with the audience. Here, it's not the courageous cop or the brave doctor but the well-known brilliant and successful lawyer! We should tell those writers that there are thousand jobs outside to pick to tell a story! With such a dumb choice, the emotion is clearly washed up as Harrison gets the best doctor, the best clinic, the best house, the best school for the daughter, the best hotel and so on… His rebuilding as a new man is a good idea but considering the starting point, I really don't care after. About Harrison, he is always this formidable soft-spoken guy who is right and doesn't let go! But as I don't like to watch him play a bad guy, I don't like more to see him suffer. Finally, I have strong reservations before watching it and after watching it, it confirms that I shouldn't have picked it up!
