Henry Poole Is Here

Nothing new here, unfortunately. Have you seen this movie before? A troubled, morose single man moves into a new neighborhood. Extraordinary events introduce him to the nosy neighbor who won't leave him alone. The cute single mom next door is brought into the scene by following her even cuter (but traumatized) kid into the yard of the morose single man. Single man and single mom hit it off, single man becomes father figure to kid, secret is revealed that nearly ruins everything, nosy neighbor rallies the new couple around the previously mentioned extraordinary event so that everyone can end up happy. While Luke Wilson is well suited for the depressed but sexy Henry Poole role, I can't recommend this.
2-stars
