(1 - 15) of 15 OFCS Rating: 27% Rotten Page   1   2.5/5 "This director deals in faces and facts, the camera closing in on his actors so they can deliver their big picture pronouncements while crying on cue."   Filmcritic.com   Bill Gibron D+ "A grossly obvious take on the draining push and pull of faith, the picture is warm to the touch, just not digestible or, ultimately, meaningful."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf D- ""Henry Poole is Here" is not a movie, but rather a sketch for a screenplay that was never written. If ever there was a cinematic impetus to give up all hope for humanity and free expression, it is this patronizing, condescending, and vacuous waste of cell"   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 3/4 "That the film is ultimately not about whether the guy gets the girl, but about whether the guy will be able to make peace with his past and go on to live the life he deserves, is pretty remarkable in itself."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman C- "The kind of movie where you could read the first 20 pages of the screenplay and accurately predict what will happen in the remaining 80."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider D- "A shaggy God story, theological Capracorn that will be indigestible except to the already converted...Henry Poole Is Here is a movie that isn't all there."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 5/5 "A deeply spiritual movie about miracles, hope, love, and living in the present -- one of the best films of the year."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 0/5 "The worst movie of the year."   The L Magazine   Henry Stewart 2.5/4 "Sincere, relentlessly somber parable about a severely depressed man whose self-imposed suburban exile is upended by a familiarly-shaped stain on his wall."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito C- "If ever a movie pushed my cynicism buttons, this one was it..."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "This isn't a movie: it's a sermon."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 1/5 "The only big question you may be asking yourself after watching this will probably be "What could [fill in the name of any of the talented people inexplicably involved here] have possibly been thinking when they signed on?""   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 8/10 "A charming break-out for Luke Wilson but not the role that provides him with the dynamics we want. Touching with the right amount of mystery. Great family viewing but no thrills."   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson 1/10 "There may well be a market for simple-minded, high-budget tales of Christian redemption; if so, Henry Poole should do very well at the box office."   Playback:stl   Sarah Boslaugh C+ Read review   Decent Films Guide   Steven D.
