DVD Review "HENRY POOL IS HERE" Score C 75%

People want to see "Jesus" in anything that has a face melted, cooked or painted appear on it. Its news worthy stuff every few months it seems. Henry Pool is a dying man, buys a house on the street he grew up on. Wanting to revisit his past before he checks out. His hispanic neighbor sees "Jesus" in the water stain on the wall of his house, which happened after the realtor restuccoed the place before he moved in. Of course this is not wanted by Henry, attention happens, people come and sneak in his yard, a coke-bottle-glassed half blind grocery store clerks touched the wall and was healed and can see perfectly after. And a little girl who doesn't talk, touched the wall one night and then can speak with out a problem......Oh oh can you guess how the movie ends? Henry is dying from an incurable disease remember?... Anyway after much interaction with the wall and neighbors, Henry in a rage takes a sledge hammer to the wall, the roof then falls on his head. He wakes up in the hospital and magically he is healed (or never had the disease, there was no mention of him getting a second opinion until now). This contrite movie is more like a lifetime movie of the week.
