The Collider:
The first trailer and poster for the comedy-drama Jesus Henry Christ have gone online. The film centers on a child genius who sets out to find his biological father, only to discover the he was the result of a sperm donation. Toni Collette plays the boy’s mother, while Michael Sheen plays the “father.” The film was directed by Dennis Lee (Fireflies in the Garden), but the trailer looks like a complete rip off of a Wes Anderson movie; the framing seems almost identical. The premise is a good enough starting point, but I can’t help but shake the feeling that the whole thing plays like one of those Redbox knock-offs that looks like a real movie, but is actually just a watered-down imitation of the real thing. Sheen and Collette are immensely talented so I’d be more than happy to be proven wrong, but this trailer isn’t doing it for me.
Has no ambition other than to be bizarre, esoteric, and highly inflammatory; displays attitudes and social movements, but never once actually say anything meaningful about them.

This kinda looks like a fun movie to watch. I'm sure it would be a little strange too but entertaining also.
So Jesus' middle name is Henry. Live and learn.
