Regarding Henry (1991)
Member Rating:  
Combining elements of A Christmas Carol and Rain Man (1988), this modern-day parable of greed and redemption was crafted with generous helpings of sentimentality by director Mike Nicholas. Harrison Ford stars as Henry Turner, a slick, ruthless corporate attorney willing to spin any falsehood to win a case. A bully to his teenage daughter Rachel (Mikki Allen), Henry also cheats on his wife Sarah (Annette Bening) and treats everyone from the maid to his assistant with cruel selfishness. Stepping out to a local mini-market for a pack of cigarettes late one night, Henry accidentally interrupts a burglary and is shot in the head by a stick-up artist. After a long coma, Henry survives only to find that he has no memory and must re-learn everything from reading to tying his shoes. Reborn as a friendly, childlike innocent, Henry charms his therapist (Bill Nunn) and reconnects with his wife and daughter, only to uncover some secrets about how truly appalling he once was. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

For those of you who want a calm, thoughtful movie, this is it. It was well-acted and the story line didn't include any mayhem, gore, suspense. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I love it. This was a awesome movie. I agree that Harrison Ford's acting abilites were really proven in this movie. Annette Benning was great as well I love Annette Benning in just about anything, but they were wonderful in Regarding Henry. I think the movie really points out what is important in life and you shouldn't put careers or success before family and love.

Harrison Ford has a talent for participating in movies that have a captivating story behind them. "Regarding Henry" is one of those movies! This is a charming story with a few moral lessons that sneak up and grab you. Great movie for the whole family!
