Movie Review: Henry Poole is Here

In a working class neighborhood in Los Angeles, a world weary Henry Poole buys a house, caring little about its lack of amenities. He drinks and eats pizza. Recent stucco work has left a brown stain in a patio wall, and, to Henry's irritation, Esperanza, a neighbor, is certain she can see the face of Jesus in the stain. Soon after people start flocking in and believing that this stain is the miracle they have all been looking for. But why is it Henry wont believe?





I thought this movie was fantastic! I thought all the performances were spot on especially Luke Wilson, who has had great roles (Old School) and roles I would like to forget (Idiocracy). He played a character I had never seen him play, a down and out person in need of hope..... and he nailed it. The ending of this movie was the closest I had came to shedding a tear in a long time. Henry Poole has found his way into my collection. I say this movie is highly recomended!
