     Regarding Henry
1991  PG-13  DRAMA  1h 47min
CAST— Harrison Ford, Annette Bening, Bill Nunn, Mikki Allen, Donald Moffat, Nancy Marchand, Elizabeth Wilson, Robin Bartlett, John Leguizamo
MUSIC— Hans Zimmer  DIRECTOR— Mike Nichols

     A tender, moving drama that shines with touching performances. Harrison Ford plays a hotshot attorney who, after being shot, suffers brain damage. For him life practically starts anew. He learns to walk, to talk, and to live as an adult from scratch. His biggest challenge is reuniting with his family, none of whom he can remember. It’s an uphill climb against all odds for this survivor as he pieces his life back together amidst the love and support of his family. Some drawbacks are that the characters’ dramas seem to solve simplistically, and the sentiment can be a bit sticky-sweet. Otherwise, enjoy.
OUR RATING— ***
