Om den här filmen

Returning to the middle-class neighborhood where he grew up, Henry Poole (Luke Wilson of OLD SCHOOL) chooses to live in indulgent isolation. Real life, however, refuses to cooperate with his plans. Nosy neighbors interrupt him with curious visits and prying questions. Then the situation escalates as a stain on Henry's stucco wall is seen to have miraculous powers. His last-ditch hideout becomes a shrine when his backyard turns into an arena for passionate debate about faith and destiny. Seeking anonymous oblivion, cynical Henry Poole instead finds himself right at the center of the human comedy. Radha Mitchell (SILENT HILL), Adriana Barraza (DRAG ME TO HELL), George Lopez (TV's GEORGE LOPEZ), and Cheryl Hines (TV's CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM) co-star in this comedic drama about a disillusioned man who goes hiding in placid suburbia only to discover he cannot escape the forces of hope.

Betyg och recensioner

I"m a sucker for movies that attempt to show that the power of faith and hope supercede every super power any human could have. Whoa to the ego of the man who believes that he is in control of his life, when one phone call can turn the richest of men upside down. Even more sad is the man who refuses to accept the gifts that God has for him because he feels he is not worthy.

Ilove this movie!
