Rather poignant film given the current tragic circumstances with Robin Williams, but I enjoyed it and thought it was a fitting last film for him. It was surprisingly close to the bone as well.
Henry is an angry man. Very angry. Everything annoys him, from his wife, his children, cars, to people to animals to the weather. He can barely function during the day without getting stressed or angry.
On a weekday he is on the way to work, grumbling about the traffic when he is smashed into by another car. He goes to hospital and is seen by pill-popping physician Sharon who gets so frustrated by his rude and arrogant behaviour when she informs him of a brain aneurism that she mistakenly tells him he is going to die.. in ninety minutes.
Henry immediately sets off to set his relationships in order and right all the wrongs he has done to people, whilst Sharon chases around the city looking for him in order to tell him of her mistake.
Not quite amusing enough to be slapstick, but I thought it was funny, and also quite emotional and tender, and actually made me cry a number of times.
Worth a watch.
