Movies: "Henry Poole is Here" ... is here!

Back in early June I gave AmP readers an exclusive preview of the new movie staring Luke Wilson and directed by George Lopez, Henry Poole is Here.

Since then, a winner for the theme song contest I promoted has been chosen through your votes.

Tomorrow, on the Feast of the Assumption, the movie opens in theaters around the country.

Deacon Keith Fournier writing for Catholic Online sums up the movie like this:

"Henry Poole finds out that in the midst of the stuff of daily life, with all of its pain and struggle, hope really can save you. A truly good film."

The U.S. Bishops' review has some high praise for it:

"This little gem of a film with its truthful emotions, likable characters, and themes of faith and community concern (even when Henry commits a desperate act) should resonate warmly with Catholic viewers."

The trailer (see it in HD over at Apple):

Renew Theology on Tap has even written a discussion guide for the movie.

Sounds like a fun Friday or Saturday night excursion to me!
