Regarding Henry Reviews
A cynical, manipulative exercise that remains compulsively watchable despite its flaws thanks to the star power on board.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 25, 2024
While not a huge highlight for either Ford or Nichols, Regarding Henry remains a sweet, entertaining morality tale that's run to revisit.

This was an enjoyable chance to see a softer side of Harrison Ford we don't often see.

Nichols, who directed Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and The Graduate, takes grave and serious issues and gives them the West Coast treatment, placing him within hailing distance of becoming an industry-for-hire hack.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 9, 2023
The film, despite all its faults, is worth watching for its performance.

...one of director Nichols' very best efforts.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 30, 2020
[Director Mike] Nichols is making brain damage look a little too warm and wonderful.

Slow, thoughtful '90s drama won't appeal to teens.

| Original Score: C- | Sep 7, 2011
Ford commits, but this mawkish script would barely pass muster on Lifetime, taking the easy route any chance it gets, with an aggravating routine of rich white people feeling bad for rich white people.
| Original Score: D | Jul 12, 2011
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.

Lack of realism is not the problem of this Mike Nichols' drama; it's the simplistic messages and the time-worn cliches that make it flawed--despite good acting from Harrison Ford in the lead.

Perhaps Ford's best work, certainly his most challenging role.

Soap opera, to be sure, but reasonably entertaining
