Editorial Review:
Two bullets force a top Manhattan lawyer to start life over, with his loving wife and daughter.
Description of Regarding Henry:
Get shot in the head and become a better person. This 1991 Mike Nichols (Wolf) film stars Harrison Ford as a big-shot cold-hearted lawyer who gets a bullet in his brain during a holdup. The film de-emphasizes the traumas of recovery to focus on the title character's personality change after the fact. The canny Ford gets to work from his full, familiar palette of arrogance to boyishness, and even builds Henry from top to bottom after the wounded fellow awakens with no memory. But this is a slow and unremarkable film from Nichols, its sentimentality eclipsing all else, most of all profound insight. --Tom Keogh
Regarding Henry Reviews:
Good movie 
2009-09-07 - I love this movie and it's a good dvd to add to your collection. One of the best movies of all times.
Medically impossible 
2009-09-01 - Be it interesting and moving at some points, the story is medically unlikely. Personality change after brain injuay happens not infrequently, but usually not in this pattern. Post-traumatic brain often makes people slow, inflexible, and impulsive. These patients may still have some prelearned skills reserved, but often lose the "fine tune" and quick learning ability, such as subtle feeling of emotion, social appropriateness, tolerance to frustration, and short term memory. The morality sense of brain injured people usually become stubborn and self-centered. Most people act better than their inner personality. When brain injured, people may have something called "disinhibition," that is to act more of their inner nature and less of socially learned behavior, which is usually not pleasant. The movie told a story of a naturally kind and loyal person acted as a selfish, greedy, dishonest person until he got brain-injured then turned into his own born-with gentleman. Ask any neurologist and psychiatrist, if they have ever seen such cases.
Disappointed 
2009-08-22 - I was extremely disappointed when I starting watching this movie. Nowhere on the movie description did it mentioned that the closed captioning WOULD NOT go away. There was absolutely no means of getting rid of the closed captioning!!!!!! I refused to watch a movie with words on the screen the whole time. I am sending the movie back to Amazon.
nice product
2009-01-21 - This DVD was a present and it arrived just like the seller advised that it would. My father enjoyed the DVD.
Regarding Henry
2008-12-13 - What a great movie. Harrison Ford and Annette Bening give such wonderful portrayals in this movie. He goes through a struggle, and she goes through a struggle. It's a movie about family, and keeping it together, your marriage and your family. I think it's probably a chick-flick, but some guys might like it. Some adult situations, but I don't think there's any nudity. Some violence, but not much (just at the very beginning).
