European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - September 1, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Harrison Ford Annette Bening Center and Mikki Allen Star in the drama regarding Henry. Row count pictures Chuck Vinch staff writer it Mon ii regarding Henry rated pg-13 a a a a must see a a a Worth your time a a passable entertainment a coming soon to a video outlet near you and you can wait there has been a Cinema Booklet this summer in films with male leads who Arentt exactly wimps but Are definitely a bit on the Mushy Side a with Kevin Costner a new age Robin Hood and Campbell Scott a leukaemia victim in dying Young representing the subgenre a opposite extremes. Sitting squarely in the midst of this wave of sensitivity is regarding Henry an uplifting parable from director Mike Nichols. The title character is Henry Turner Harrison Forda ruthless unethical lawyer can Hollywood portray a lawyer As anything else who discovers what really matters in life after getting pumped full of Lead by a convenience store robber. When we first meet him Henry is everything we love to hate about the Legal profession. He treats his attractive wife Sarah Annette Bening like a fashion accessory treats his daughter Rachel Mikki Alle with vague indifference and treats his Secretary like an ashtray. His main hobbies Are shooting the Bull with similarly shallow co workers defending big hospitals against crippled malpractice victims and ranting about How ugly his new dining room table is. Then one night Henry goes out for cigarettes and his life changes radically after he meets up with the thug who puts one Bullet in his shoulder and another in his head. When he wakes up from a coma he has no memory of his past life and is incapable of walking talking or eating by himself. Henry has been Given what most of us can Only dream of a a completely fresh Start a Chance to reinvent himself from the ground up. But first he must recover physically which he does rather too quickly to be believable with the help of a High Energy High living therapist Bill Nunn. From there Henry has to become reacquainted with life and his family. Sarah and Rachel understandably Are nervous about the Way he has changed. Dour and humourless before he s now flicking spitball at his daughter in a Public Library and making out with his wife in a Public Park. Nichols and screenwriter Jeffrey Abrams also Craft a number of uncomfortable scenes featuring Henry sold buddies at the Law office who keep him on More out of pity than anything else since he can no longer Tell the difference Between a tort and a writ. The film would be too corny and sugar Sweet if it weren to for the Fine performances of the leads. Ford is Flat out great in expressing the bemused puzzlement of a full grown adult having to figure out How the world works All Over again and he should be Ripe for an Oscar nomination next year. Bening so saucy in the drifters gives real heft to her supporting role and Allen who had no previous movie acting experience shows touching vulnerability As the daughter whose dad is transformed from someone she fears into someone she can really love. Kudos arc also in order for Nunn who makes the most of his few scenes As Henry a therapist. Despite a spooky subtext a All men need to become Sweet and cuddly is a ballistic Lobotomy a Nichols flawless direction and a first rate cast earn regarding Henry 3 a  k i \ i inn s backs frail rated r.
