The Book of Henry should have been much better. It had a number of good points but a larger number of bad points. Such as...the concept and plot were excellent. But the execution lacked the umpff it should have had. It took over an hour to get half way to first base. Beginning with the opening credits, it showed the highly detailed plans of Henry's. That lead me to believe the movie would have a complicated ingenious scenario. Unfortunately it did not. Henry's elaborate plan was nothing more than how to buy a gun and aim at the bad guy. She didn't even need the notebook since he narrated everything on the cassette tape.
On the plus side, all the acting was good and Henry and Peter were very very good.
It was thought provoking, especially in regards to child abuse. How many kids did you go to school with had a similar abusive home life like the neighbor girl?
