Dennis & Henry's Post-Divorce Checklist

a review by Daniel Emery Taylor

Offensive, irreverent, and absolutely batshit crazy, Dennis and Henry are the new fourth-wall smashing heroes of middle aged Gen-Xers and Elder Millennials everywhere. 

Operating as equal parts buddy adventure romp, sex comedy, and show business satire, this film actually gives a rather earnest commentary on the pitfalls of dating and finding love as a newly single older man. Between the uproarious laughs, one can find a rather sweet story about rediscovering yourself when your life zigs when you expected it to zag. But don't get me wrong - this is a comedy through and through. We all know, though, that the best comedy has a little bit of truth mixed in.

That is, inbetween clown / mime gang wars.

It won't be for everyone but if you're of a certain mindset and don't take things too seriously (it's a comedy, folks) there's a lot of fun to be had here.
