This movie looks incredibly fresh and funny!!! Not surprising–you can’t really go wrong when Luke Wilson plays a leading role. OKAY, sure, there was “Blond Ambition.” But you know what? That movie was darn funny. I have no idea what happened–it should have been a total box office success. And I know, because my husband works in the movie industry. hahahahhahah. (Yes, he does, but his artistic role in no way qualifies me to make movie reviews. But I’m telling you, there was nothing wrong with “Blond Ambition.” It was FUNNY.)
Anyway, so “Henry Poole is Here” is about a totally ordinary guy–except he’s down and out. He gets a home in Los Angeles, pays top dollar for it. And ends up with some curious neighbors, one of whom he falls in love with–divorcee Dawn (played by Radha Mitchell) who has an 8 year-old daughter Millie (Morgan Lily).
So, in this new home, Henry Poole has a stain on one of the walls. People begin to attribute it with natural powers. Yes, natural powers. (The neighbor Dawn “discovers” this property in the stain.) Though Henry Poole prefers to be anonymous, hoards of people begin making pilgrimages to his home to see this stain.
Thinking about the plot alone is cracking me up. I can’t wait to see this movie.
