    Winner of the Audience Award at the Slamdance Film Festival, this realistic comedy tells the story of Henry Phillips, a hapless modern day troubadour who grinds his way through the heartland, living out of his car and singing his twisted satirical songs to anyone who will listen. After a booking mishap involving a Christian fundraiser, he decides he's hit rock bottom. Seeking to shake things up, he moves to L.A. where his luck changes overnight. Thanks less to his inept manager than to a wild case of mistaken identity, he falls backwards into a string of packed gigs, a record deal and even the promise of love. But he who lives by the whimsy of show business dies by it, and reality hits him like a fist in the face: an innocent miscommunication over a bagel brands him a neo-Nazi in the world of tabloid journalism. Luckily, somewhere between rock bottom and nowhere lies the perfect terrain for his dark and hilarious songs.

    Wow, I can't believe I have never seen this before! I will be sure to pirate this later when I get home. Can't wait to use AI to replace all the faces with the neighborhood cats. It's the only way my furbabies will watch movies with me. Well anyway, thanks for uploading Henry.

    Henry out did major box office films, this was hysterical from start to finish. Everyones acting really pulled it together, it wasnt just some skit. This flowed so beautifully.

    This a full display of Henry's truly outstanding cinematic genius. Every single detail, the acting, story and cinematography are treated with care and craftsmanship. Seeing the final result is nothing short of a life changing experience and the only thing I wish for is being able to see this masterpiece for the first time again.

    I don't like movies with real actors and I just wanted to take a peek at this movie before going to sleep. I stayed up till 3:30am finishing it and laughing a lot. Thanks for the treat, Henry! Did not expect having such a good a good time.
    At 1:18:42 the chords and melody to José Suicidio's song "Covid 19" start playing. Peculiar.

    Wow!!! To be watching this in 2023 on your YT channel is awesome. My first viewing of this film was 2012. To be honest, this movie inspired me. I’m about to celebrate my 5th anniversary of quitting the corporate job and being a full time musician and still being able paying the bills.
    I lack your talent but this movie and your talent has taught me so much. Thank you Henry. 🙂✌️

    One of the very first movies I ever streamed on Netflix in 2012 . Enjoyed it from start to finish and became an instant fan of HP and was so excited to discover Henry's Kitchen on YT. Proud to be a fan from Clown ( gonna watch it again today )to Kitchen to Highway Man.

    In one of your videos, you said how proud you were of this movie, so I made SURE to put this on my priority watch-later queue.
    It is FANTASTIC. Really truly. The depth of emotions and relatable stresses; everyone's struggles are different in specifics, but gave us the shared core emotions. Great movies do that, I think. Make the viewers feel less alone in their alone feelings. Really beautiful and so glad you gave this to us ❤

    I'm only 1/4 of the way in and.. I tell ya from my experience most indie movies suck after the first half or I'm kinda told.
