But even a boy genius needs a father and when it's revealed that this prodigy is a test-tube baby, it sets into motion a very modern comedy about life, love and family dynamics.

FROM EXECUTIVE PRODUCER JULIA ROBERTS COMES AN OFFBEAT MODERN COMEDY ABOUT LIFE, LOVE AND FAMILY DYNAMICS - A 2012 THEATRICAL RELEASE STARRING MICHAEL SHEEN AND TONI COLLETTE
Jesus Henry Christ
Precocious doesn't even begin to describe Henry James Herman (Jason Spevak, Fever Pitch, Sunshine Cleaning, Ramona and Beezus), born a misfit genius. At nine months, he was speaking in full sentences, and, at ten, he went to college. But even a boy genius needs a father and when it's revealed that this prodigy is a test-tube baby, it sets into motion a very modern comedy about life, love and family dynamics. A selection of the Tribeca Film Festival and a 2012 theatrical release, Jesus Henry Christ, from producer Julia Roberts and starring Emmy(R) and BAFTA Nominee Michael Sheen (Midnight in Paris, Frost/Nixon, The Queen) and Emmy(R) winner and Oscar(R) and Golden Globe(R) Nominee Toni Collette ("United States of Tara", Little Miss Sunshine, The Sixth Sense) will make its DVD debut this July...only from Entertainment One.
This off-beat, modern comedy revolves around 10-year-old boy genius Henry and his fervently left-wing single mother Patricia (Collette), who works at the local university's cafeteria. A misfit from birth, Henry's precocious, rabble-rousing ways catch up with him when he gets kicked out of school for writing "Manifestos on the Nature of Truth." Meanwhile, 12-year-old Audrey (Samantha Weinstein, Big Girl, The Rocker) has her own problems because of her single father, university professor Dr. Slavkin O'Hara (Sheen), who used her as the test subject for his best-selling book "Born Gay or Made that Way?" Needless to say, she gets a not-so-nice nickname from her classmates. When Henry scores a scholarship to the university as a child prodigy, the two families cross paths and everything they knew about their lives is thrown to the wind.
