Just Henry (2011 TV Movie)
6/10
Good start, but then the ending came
30 December 2011
Warning: Spoilers
i read the other review before i watched this film and i decided that the "reviewer" was so negative that i should watch it anyway. Henry father died during the Second War and now his mum has married again, but Henry is not happy about it. The only thing he seems happy about is the new girl at school Grace, photography and watching films. One day he take a photo of Grace and his mom believes the man in the background to be Henry's father. Did he die in the war or not? The actor playing Henry is quite good and has a youthful and handsome face, so he is believable as a high school student. But his mums seems a bit young although it is possible that she had him as a teenager. Spoilers!!!! The only actor that felt below par was Henry's father, a bit over the top. At times i needed subtitles, but only because of the harsh northern accent. The film ran out of steam by the end and it was unbelievable that Henry would try to protect his father after all that he had done to hurt his family, so the writers could not think of a plausible ending, otherwise i liked the film, but only if it was a TV film.
