The Book of Henry

"But... our legacy isn't what we write on our resume or how many commas we have in our bank account. It's who we're lucky enough to have in our lives and what we can leave them with."

The Book of Henry is not the film any of us expected. This is a film that splits audiences – including JJ, Steve and Tommy. JJ says it is at least 3 or 4 films. Special guest Tommy doesn’t rate it as much of a film. And Steve was thoroughly enjoying this YA story about a precocious 12 year old . . and then it took a turn.

Is this film for you? Within the first 15 minutes of this episode you will know whether you will push play, or keep scrolling.
