Entertainment Reviews:
It is a film that reunites some superb moments, and all of them come from the excellent acting work, of an incredible naturalness guided by Newman's direction. [Full Review in Spanish]

Espinof
Produced, directed and even partially scripted by Newman, the story about a man suffering from a heart condition is hardly exciting or rewarding material.
DVDLaser
The script offers few insights and the plot is too predictable to create any tension.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
The film is definitely overlong, bordering on the dull.

TV Guide
Fuzzily conceived and indecisively executed, Harry & Son represents a deeply disappointing return to the director's chair for Paul Newman.

A decently intentioned but rather drab mess of a movie.

Rating: 1/4 --
The movie might have worked if it had been a satire of those awful made-for-TV Family Problem Movies. Unfortunately, it does not seem to know it is funny.

Product Description:
An aging, widowed construction worker finds himself at odds with his easygoing, idealistic son. Robby Benson (ICE CASTLES) plays the younger side of the equation in this unusual drama directed, produced, co-written by, and starring Paul Newman. HARRY & SON counts among its supporting players Ellen Barkin, Wilford Brimley, Ossie Davis, Maury Chaykin, Newman's wife and frequent collaborator Joanne Woodward, and, in one of his earliest screen roles, Morgan Freeman.
