Jesus Henry Christ 2011


Jesus Henry Christ (2011)     When he turns 10 years old, Henry James Herman sets out to find his father. Patricia, his feminist single mother has raised him.  Henry is a genius and he remembers everything from the age of one year.  He also started to speak in full sentences at this age.  Henry is shocked when he learns from his grandfather that he was a test-tube baby.
     The premise is good but execution is bad.  I kept hoping this was going to get better but it keeps slogging along and it’s not funny either.  I found this sad and not funny?  I liked Toni Collette as an actress but she has nothing to work with in her role.  2 ½* (This movie is so-so)   

92 min, Comedy directed by Dennis Lee with Toni Collette, Michael Sheen, Jason Spevack, Samantha Weinstein, Frank Moore, Aaron Abrams. 

Note:  Blockbuster 2 ½*, imdb 6.1 out of 10, 25% critic 46% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
