Henry Poole Is Here

Henry Poole Is Here

Who's in it: Luke Wilson, Radha Mitchell, Adriana Barraza, Morgan Lily

What's it about: Henry Poole(Wilson) is diagnosed with a life threatening disease. He moves into a new house to die in but a stain on the side of his house raises Hell, or should I say Heaven! Esperanza(Barraza), the next door neighbor, recognizes the stain to be the torso of Jesus Christ and begins to tell people tocome and worship it. Henry begins to get angry at the mobs of people attending services at his house. The other neighbor, Dawn(Mitchell), and her mute daughter, Millie(Lily), start to believe in the stain after Millie touches the wall and begins to speak. Henry just wants to be in left in peace.

What I Think: I love Luke Wilson in every movie that he's ever been in. This movie, however, has to be one of my favourites with him in it. Being Catholic, yet understanding to other religions and beliefs, I can see both sides of the story. I was very surprised that someone would do such a movie though. This wasn't heavily advertised and I can see why. The acting was fairly good, but there wasn't much dialogue alot of the movie. The setting was near perfect, being in a late, friendly neighborhood.
