The film is almost single-minded in its celebration of faith and hope and God.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 10, 2020

It is a quiet, introspective story that, clumsily at some times and heartbreakingly at others, explores a broken man's search for meaning and the gift of faith.

Henry Poole Is Here is so stupid it makes you itch. I half expected to exit the theater with gushing stigmata.

Good intentions, and a rare attempt to embrace spirituality on screen, aren't enough to make Henry Poole is Here a worthy destination.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 1, 2009

There is something contrived about this story in which people with major problems find a resolution.

| Apr 18, 2009

Drives home the themes in a natural and honest way that never comes off as preachy.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 10, 2009

Despite an excellent performance by Luke Wilson and a promising start, Henry Poole is Here ends up an overindulgent misfire. [Blu-ray]

One of the best films of the year. You'll laugh, You'll Cry... You'll truly appreciate life!
