Too-smart-for-his-own-good 10-year-old Henry James Herman sets out to locate his father, an anonymous sperm donor, in this quirky comedy. Along the way, Henry uncovers family secrets that only deepen his existential quandary.
This was a great little movie. I was totally not expecting it to be good at all. It starts out with a bit of dark humor and blossoms into an intelligently witty comedy.
You fall in love with Henry, who isn't smart he just has one hell of a memory. He has this settle path to being bitter which is quite funny. The story of his Mother, which is where the story starts out, captures you and makes you want to see where this is going. I love it when the character building is done as well as it is in this movie. All the characters fall into place perfectly and make a wicked story.
Although you do get lost here and there and wonder why some scenes even made the cut, it is a great watch and a feel good movie.
