What to Know

Critics Consensus

Although Harrison Ford makes the most of an opportunity to dig into a serious role, Regarding Henry is undermined by cheap sentiment and clichés.

Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: C- Sep 7, 2011 Full Review David Ansen Newsweek One can make excuses for a 23-year-old writer's misunderstanding of human behavior, but how could Mike Nichols look at himself in the mirror when he directed such dumbfounding scenes. Mar 31, 2008 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Rated: 4.5/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Sue Heal Radio Times A cynical, manipulative exercise that remains compulsively watchable despite its flaws thanks to the star power on board. Rated: 3/5 Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Chris Bumbray JoBlo's Movie Network While not a huge highlight for either Ford or Nichols, Regarding Henry remains a sweet, entertaining morality tale that's run to revisit.

Audience Member Great movie that will keep you hooked. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/15/24 Full Review Marvels51 R This was a sad, yet charming love story. And, about doing the right thing. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/18/24 Full Review Karen H This movie is a fine script and brilliantly directed by Mike Nichols. Great acting ,sensitive thought provoking re the meaning of life. Very authentic. I can't imagine why anyone would give this a bad rating. Unless they haven't seen tragedies turn to gold with hard work and the right attitude. It's a classy deep thinking well paced movie in all respects. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/08/23 Full Review Central V So bad on every level. Painful and embarrassing to watch. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/22/23 Full Review Pikachu p Henry Turner (Harrison Ford) ist ein erfolgreicher Anwalt mit einer Frau und einer Tochter. Er verbringt nicht viel Zeit mit seiner Familie, sondern konzentriert sich eher auf seine Arbeit und er ist in seiner Kanzlei bei seinen Kollegen sehr beliebt. Eines Tages er von einem Ladendieb angeschossen wird, fällt er ins Koma. Als er aus dem Koma erwacht, hat er alle seine Fähigkeiten verloren und auch sein Gedächtnis. Henry muss alles wieder neu erlernen und benimmt sich wie ein Kind. Harris Ford spiel hier seine Rolle wie eigentlich immer super. Am Anfang spielt er einen unsympathischen Anwalt. Ab dem Moment wo er sein Gedächtnis verliert und sich wie ein Kind benimmt, spielt er sehr überzeugend. Generell muss man sagen, dass der Cast perfekt ist und die Beziehung zwischen Henry und seiner Familie ebenfalls gut dargestellt wurde. Wer einen dramatischen Film erwartet, könnte sehr enttäuscht werden. Der Film bringt viel Humor mit sich und ist nicht so stark auf Emotionen fokussiert. Es gibt auch emotionale Momente, welche gut funktionieren. An einigen Stellen zieht sich der Film und der Charakter Bradley hat mir am Anfang nicht gefallen, aber es hat sich gebessert. Die Beziehung zwischen Henry und seiner Tochter hat mir am besten gefallen, da sie so authentisch gewirkt hat. Der Film hat viele Elemente, die es auch in anderen Filmen gibt, es ist nicht besonders neues dabei, trotzdem überzeugt der Film mit tollen Charakteren. Die anderen Anwälte sind nicht näher beleuchtend und sind eher nur Geldgierig. 8,5/10 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/15/23 Full Review jelisije j Harrison Ford is a hot shot lawyer who is shot in the head survives and looses his entire memory and identity. Predictable but heartwarming. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
