Leave your thoughts about Regarding Henry.
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovFord, as usual, is a delight to watch; his portrayals of both Henry the Ruthless Lawyer and Henry the Reborn are dead-on, unerring in their accuracy. Bening is likewise excellent. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfFord commits, but this mawkish script would barely pass muster on Lifetime, taking the easy route any chance it gets, with an aggravating routine of rich white people feeling bad for rich white people. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyIt would be cornier if it weren't so well acted by Nunn, Bening and 12-year-old Allen. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonWatching "Henry" is very gratifying on a nonintellectual level. Director Mike Nichols moves through this story through the appropriate emotions with linear simplicity. Ford, who goes from control freak to powerless (but triumphant) child, makes the rather one-dimensional redemption work. |
| The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsIt’s more a misguided, though occasionally retch-worthy, mediocrity elevated by its cast—Bening, as always, is particularly strong—and Nichols’ fluid camerawork. Those elements at times make it seem like a better movie than it really is, but it doesn’t benefit from scrutiny or thought. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyLack of realism is not the problem of this Mike Nichols' drama; it's the simplistic messages and the time-worn cliches that make it flawed--despite good acting from Harrison Ford in the lead. |
| Orlando SentinelJay BoyarA good deal more tolerable than any such gimmick movie has a right to be. |
| Miami HeraldChristine DolenNichols is so astute at directing the actors (who also include Bill Nunn, Donald Moffat, and Nancy Marchand) that it's relatively easy to overlook the yuppie complacency, shameless devices (starting with an adorable puppy), and product plugs (especially Ritz crackers) that undermine the seriousness of the whole project. |
| Common Sense MediaAndrea BeachSlow, thoughtful '90s drama won't appeal to teens. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrIt's so neat, so formula, so contrived, I was thinking about "The Graduate" instead of about characters I had spent two hours with. So, I suspect, was Nichols. |
