Movie Review: Henry Poole is Here

Kyle and I watched this movie over the weekend. I had heard about it and knew that it had gotten amazing reviews but I didn't know what it was about. It was soooo good. Even Kyle thought is was really good. It was really pretty touching. It is also a very clean movie with only a PG rating. I love movies like this that are thought provoking but are still very clean and tasteful. The film is shot beautifully. You really should watch this movie. You'll love it.

Someone else's great summary of the film:

HENRY POOLE is HERE is a comedic drama about a disillusioned man who goes hiding in placid suburbia only to discover he cannot escape the forces of hope. Returning to the middleclass neighborhood where he grew up, Henry chooses to live in indulgent isolation. Real life, however, refuses to cooperate with his plans. Nosy neighbors interrupt him with curious visits and prying questions. Then the situation escalates as a stain on Henry's stucco wall is seen to have miraculous powers. His last-ditch hideout becomes a shrine; his backyard turns into an arena for passionate debate about faith and destiny. Seeking anonymous oblivion, cynical Henry Poole instead finds himself right at the center of the human comedy. A modern-day fable, director Mark Pellington's new film investigates the unexpected wonders of the everyday. A faithless man finds hope. A hopeless man finds love. Whether backyard miracles are real or triggered by hope and belief, their personal effects are permanent.
