I am not a film critic, so the insightful comments of others here are best read if you're looking for artistic commentary etc. What I do know is that The Conversation is an excellent suspense film. Hackman is great as Caul... a brilliant performance from one of the best actors of our time. And it's always entertaining to see Harrison Ford in his younger days. An excellent suspense film... it might be a bit slow for the Playstation 2 generation, though a short attention span is no excuse for disliking this film.
Bottom line: it's easy to see why this film was nominated for the Best Picture Oscar in 1974, losing out only to Coppola's other great film that year, The Godfather II.

The Bottom Line - 2.5 out of 5
"After Henry" is a mid-grade Britcom. Britcom fans such as myself will enjoy seeing Prunella Scales (Mrs Fawlty from "Fawlty Towers"), as she is a fine actress and does admirably here. However, the show isn't memorably funny, the premise of multi-generational households is a well-tilled one and there's little new here, and the remaining cast is mediocre. The general impression left on the viewer after several episodes is that it's a rather run-of-the-mill program.
As an American who loves Britcoms, I try to watch and rent all that I can find on telly and in vid shops. I don't have the luxury of comparing "After Henry" to the regular programming that British viewers see each night. My comments on the show are in relation to the shows I have seen. The best shows would include "One Foot in the Grave", "Blackadder", "Fawlty Towers" and "Red Dwarf". "After Henry" is clearly not in that lofty class, but is passable. You could certainly find yourself watching worse... and better.
