With a Friend Like Harry Drama, Suspense/Thriller A spiraling
descent into fear which begins on a quietly ominous note as
family man Michel sets out for his summer home in the
countryside with his wife Claire and their three screaming
infant daughters. A blistering heat wave and the increasingly
cranky children force the family to make a pit stop. In the rest
area, Michel bumps into Harry, an old school classmate he
doesn't remember, but who seems to remember Michel fondly.
Harry, so impressed with Michel when they were younger, even
recites from memory a poem Michel wrote as a teenager. Soon,
Harry and his voluptuous fiancee, Plum, are joining Michel's
family on their vacation. Harry seems to be just what the family
needs--his carefree spirit and charm light up Michel's mundane
little holiday, allowing him to let go. Yet the friendlier Harry
gets and the more generosity and advice he bestows on Michel,
the mysteriously menacing his effects becomes. Rated R for
language, some violence and a scene of nudity. C
