Summary: A Story of Inspiration
Review: "Regarding Henry" is a wonderful movie about a man's struggle to find himself after suffering from a stroke. Harrison Ford plays a demoralized lawyer with a family falling apart at the seams. After suffering a stroke he reinvents himself and becomes a new man with a different outlook on life and a list of new priorities. Buy it....you will now regret buying "Reguarding Henry"

Summary: AT LEAST THE FILM'S HEART IS IN THE RIGHT PLACE..
Review: 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.

Summary: moving story proves anyone can have a change of heart
Review: A prominent, but stony-hearted lawyer is an innocent standbyer in a liquor store hold up and gets shot in the head. The scene is unforgettable and will stay with you long after you've seen the film. He's stunned and doesn't quite realize he's been hit, then you see this little trail of blood trickling from his forehead... next scene, he's in the hospital suffering from amnesia. Far from being a love-tap to the noggin, Henry must go through months of agonizing physical therapy to re-learn how to talk and think straight again. While his memory comes back in tiny little pieces, he mostly remembers nothing of his past life and is re-introduced to his wife and daughter, who ironically enough, were already strangers to him before he was shot. Along with the good memories, the previous emotional baggage has been erased as well and Henry finds himself falling in love with his wife all over again, and falling in love with the daughter he never appreciated. He becomes fearless and fun-loving and must face the person he used to be as he realizes that even though he has changed, others are treating him like the old, spiteful Henry. The film says a lot to the viewer emotionally. We either hold on to the things we hate, yet are comfortable with, or we abandon the garbage and start our lives with a fresh perspective, letting those who choose to scoff us sluff off like barnacles. Too many people simply go through life, plodding along, going through the motions and never really live and enjoy the important things that life has too offer. The film makes you think... you can start off with life a-new, without the help of a bullet if you're so determined. This is a sweet family film that I highly recommend.

Summary: Lawyer Gets Shot In His Head - Becomes A Better Person
Review: Although the acting is solid, the movie is riddled with cliches. High-powered attorney Harrison Ford is mean and cut throat; he gets shot in the head during a botched grocery store robbery. (The hold-up man is John Lezgioumano (sorry about the spelling)and the only person of color in the film). The bullet makes him humanistic. Maybe the bullet is the hero? A good idea for a film is wasted on a mediocre script.

Summary: Sometimes the worst curse is your truest blessing
Review: Despite being less well known, "Regarding Henry" is one of Harrison Ford's best works. The film demands a wide spectrum from this great actor and he delivers convincingly. For the most part, the other performers take their cue from Ford's "Henry" and render a near perfect glimpse of a life that could have been. The tile character, Henry Turner, is introduced to us as a top-flight litigator for a large New York legal firm. He is well groomed, dressed in a designer suit and he is seen speaking sincerely to a jury about human desires and justice. Our opinion of him changes as soon as Henry leaves the court. He quickly makes a call to his interior designer to berate her for having the wrong table delivered to his palatial home. He is just another lawyer, after all. It is hard to watch this movie at the start. Henry is one of those men we all love to hate. He is selfish, self centered, successful and confident. His daughter is frightened of him and his wife is a pale reflection of him. Luckily we are not forced to watch this Henry for very long. He makes the classic movie exit and "goes out for some cigarettes." What follows is a scene that is perfectly directed. Henry walks into a corner store demanding his brand of cigarettes, unaware that the other patron is robbing the owner. Henry does not become scared but before he can even attempt to control the situation, he is lying on the sidewalk with two bullets inside his body and the wail of approaching sirens in the background. This event is the cusp of Henry's life. Annette Bening plays Henry's Wife, Sarah. She may not be in love with her husband anymore but she needs him. As her financial position becomes clear, she realizes she needs him very much. But she is not unaffected by it all. This is the man in her life, the father of her child, a good provider and protector. Seeing him lying motionless in a hospital bed, drooling and staring vacantly, is probably the most painful thing she has ever experienced. But there is some hope of recovery. Henry's long rejuvenation at a specialty medical center is like a rebirth. He remembers nothing, coming into his new world without the power of speech or the ability to walk. His midwife/physiotherapist, Bradley, is wonderful. He is full of life, energy and enthusiasm. As Henry is taught to walk and speak and function, Bradely becomes the mainstay of his life. Sarah keeps her distance and Henry doesn't get to see his daughter, (Rachel), at all until the day he is deemed fit to go home, a scary separation from the only people he trusts. But the Henry that returns to a home he barely remembers, is not the same man that left for cigarettes. He is a little shy, very calm, forgiving, gentle and above all, nice. His transformation is interpreted in different ways by different groups. The movie serves as an interesting depiction of how society views disabilities. His boss is patronizing, his daughter delighted, his mistress is distraught and for the longest time, Sarah doesn't know what to feel. The ending may be predictable but in this case, it is the journey that we love. Most of us feel we have lost our innocence and that our honor has been a little tarnished by life's decisions. Henry takes us on a trip to see what might happen if we surrendered all the hard won prizes in our life and instead, chose to embrace life itself. This is a film that will make you feel. Some days, that's just what we need.

Summary: A true feel good movie
Review: Harrison Ford plays a rich, self-absorbed lawyer who is shot in the head during a robbery (no, he does not suffer a stroke). His memory is completely wiped out by the head wound. The movie is about his struggle to learn about himself and rediscovering his family and the other things in his life that are important. It's a wonderful story that the girls will eat up and the guy can enjoy too.

Summary: A Sleeper Hit!!
Review: Here we have Harrison Ford, as the typical executive on the rise who suddenly walks into a convenience store to get some cigarettes and "behold," a robbery takes place, and he is injured to the point where he has amnesia and doesn't remember who he is or what he did in life. From here the movie really takes on a character of its own, and Ford is totally believable as Henry, and Annette Bening is also marvelous as his wife, who has deal with much of his history prior to the tragedy, because Henry was unfaithful to her before, and he was engaged in dirty corporate tricks. To watch the transformation of Henry as he begins to "find himself" is a very revealing one, and in particular how he handles the pain of not only his own loss, but the losses of those around him, and we see a gentler, kinder Henry appear before our very eyes. Highly recommended!!!
