When I first heard about 'Punching Henry' I did not know quite what to expect.
The theme of a 'can't-get-anything-right-everyman' has been tried, and not all attempts have been successful.
Then I saw 'Punching Henry.'
In the context of a guy's attempt at fame and art, everything he did, except for one thing, somehow worked against him (I will leave out the 'one thing' so as not to spoil it for those on the fence.)
The timing was right; the pace was spot on; the humor was there; and the inevitability of it all, from the two cabs to the wrong turn off the elevator, and everything in between, worked.
I'd recommend this for anyone who has wondered 'What does it take to make it in the entertainment industry?' and, more importantly, 'Just how many wrong turns can my career take?'
