Regarding Henry

Regarding Henry starts with a nasty feel – then turns into a feel-good story.

IMDB describes 1991’s Regarding Henry like so:

“After being shot, a lawyer loses his memory and must relearn speech and mobility, but he has a loving family to support him.”

Harrison Ford plays Henry Turner – a despicable – ruthless trial lawyer – in other words a real prick – after attending a social affair with his wife – played by Annette Bening – he realizes he’s out of cigarettes.

So he goes out to the corner store to buy a pack of cigarettes – but becomes a random shooting victim – John Leguizamo plays the street punk who shoots him twice.

The second bullet enters the right frontal lobe of his brain and causes damage – Harrison Ford can’t remember anything – he can’t talk – and he can’t walk.

Bill Nun plays the wise-cracking physical therapist who helps Harrison Ford recover his speech and mobility.

But when Harrison Ford returns home – he no longer fits into his legal career – or his family.

Annette Bening plays the loving wife – until it slips out she had a secret affair with one of his colleagues – of course he did too – also with one of his colleagues.

But it becomes a feel good movie when Harrison Ford slowly regains most of his senses – all is forgiven – and the family transitions into a solid, loving family.

Kamian Allen plays the daughter – she’s the fulcrum who instigates the changes and makes the family whole.
