[edit] Plot
Henry Poole (Luke Wilson) had a comfortable life and a beautiful fiancée.But just when it seemed that the future couldn't look any brighter ,a visit to the doctor's office casts a dark cloud over his sunny outlook.Shattered,Henry wants nothing more in life than to simply vanish into his surroundings,and what better way to accomplish that feat than to purchase a cookie-cutter house in a working-class suburb and spend his final days awaiting the inevitable in peaceful solitude?Unfortunately for Henry,his new neighbours aren't about to let the handsome neighbourhood newcomer spend his days sulking.
The first to stop by and welcome Henry to his new home is local yenta Esperanza (Adriana Barraza),who comes knocking on his door with a fresh plate of homemade tamales and laundry list of questions.
Later,after taking notice of sad-eyed divorcée Dawn (Radha Mitchell) and her taciturn six-year-old daughter,Millie (Morgan Lily),who hasn't spoken a word since her father left,Henry finds his self-imposed exile shattered when Esperanza notices a stain on his stucco wall that seems to possess miraculous powers.Before Henry can say "Hail Mary," Esperanza is leading pilgrimages to the "holy site" in his backyard and inviting Father Salizar (George Lopez) to give his blessings to the sacrosanct blemish.As sceptical as Henry may be about the healing powers of the curious apparition,however,his growing friendship with young Millie not only brings him closer to Dawn,but also proves to him that there's no escaping the power of hope.

Just got a baby one as below.
HENRY POOLE is HERE is a comedic drama about a disillusioned man who goes hiding in placid suburbia only to discover he cannot escape the forces of hope. Returning to the middleclass neighborhood where he grew up, Henry chooses to live in indulgent isolation. Real life, however, refuses to cooperate with his plans. Nosy neighbors interrupt him with curious visits and prying questions. Then the situation escalates as a stain on Henry's stucco wall is seen to have miraculous powers. His last-ditch hideout becomes a shrine; his backyard turns into an arena for passionate debate about faith and destiny. Seeking anonymous oblivion, cynical Henry Poole instead finds himself right at the center of the human comedy. A modern-day fable, director Mark Pellington's new film investigates the unexpected wonders of the everyday. A faithless man finds hope. A hopeless man finds love. Whether backyard miracles are real or triggered by hope and belief, their personal effects are permanent.
