Henry Poole Is...GREAT!



I don't usually post movie reviews on the blog of movies that are no longer in the theater, but this one was so good, I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to tell everyone about "Henry Poole Is Here." Don't worry, all of you who aren't Luke Wilson fans, this is definitely not your typical "Luke Wilson" fare! I don't want to give too much of the plot away, so I'll just say that this is one of the most touching and thought provoking movies about faith and miracles that I've seen in a long time. The beginning was a little hard to figure out what's going on, but stick with it - it's well worth the ride! If you've already seen it, I'd love to hear what you thought about it!

SO glad to hear that you enjoyed the film! I did too and I am encouraging those that missed it the first time around to check out the recently released family version.It was such a great story about a real life guy who was struggling with his faith and accepting it. This is something that I've been struggling with myself for the past couple of years. It was such an encouragement to see this played out. And it's really cool that I've found a site, http://www.henrypoolebelieves.com. Right now it looks like they are giving away 10 copies of the movie for free. If you haven't seen the movie yet, or even if you have, you could always give it to a friend, but it's definitely worth checking out! GREAT film for a FAMILY movie night!
