Jesus Henry Christ (2012): At the age of ten, Henry James Hermin, a boy who was conceived in a petri-dish and raised by his feminist mother, follows a string of Post-It notes in hopes of finding his biological father. (6.1)
Director: Dennis Lee
Writers: Dennis Lee
Stars: Jason Spevack, Toni Collette, Michael Sheen
If you come to this movie with a preconceived notion about a "that kind of story" you will hate it. It is a flowing story with many tangents and way too many quirky cutting remarks and jabs. Most of them are probably not laugh out loud jokes but quite amusing. Besides, there's a story to be told and a mystery to be solved. All the major characters have various flaws and that's the great thing about this story. The ending seems to be a bit too sweet and sappy, but hey, it could have gone totally dark and given that I prefer this side. Just have to enjoy the moments and silliness of them. The acting by the two young kids is brilliant, given that they had to portray two quirky characters. My Rating: 6.5
