Customer Reviews of Homegrown
Not another teen drug flick First of all, THIS IS NOT A SLAPSTICK DRUG MOVIE ALA CHEECH AND CHONG. I found this movie to be more of a drama/mystery than a comedy, and a very enjoyable, compelling, well-produced one at that. Sure, the plot revolves around the harvest and sale of a 'Green' crop, but the scenario that the characters are placed in and quality of the acting and direction is far from the slapstick drug comedies that I don't need to mention here. Parts of it reminded me of Fargo, in fact. With the head of the farm out of the picture, its up to the harvesters to negotiate the sale of the year's crop, and it turns out that the business side of the industry is anything but simple business. The plot twists and turns, the characters cling to their wits, and the excellent direction enhances the paranoia that creeps across every frame of the picture. This movie surprised me: definitely worth a rental.
Good Movie Falls Between the Cracks
How sad that a film this good will probably never have much of an audience. Apparently no matter how good the script, cast, soundtrack and cinematography, you just can't market a movie about marijuana -- unless you make the characters either hardened criminals or blithering idiots, cliches this movie thankfully avoids. "Homegrown" is a first rate murder mystery/thriller with some subtle (and some not-so-subtle) humor. It's well acted and has an outstanding cast. Billy Bob Thornton is excellent, again. The brotherly/fatherly interaction of the 3 main characters is at times priceless. Ted Danson and Jon Bon Jovi aren't great, but there's plenty of great work by Kelly Lynch, John Lithgow, Judge Reinhold and Jamie Lee Curtis. The interiors and exteriors of most of the film intentionally contain a lot of deep green and rust colors -- same as the plants that play such an important role in the film. The soundtrack is hip without being an obvious attempt to cross-market. DVD-wise, this is one of the best looking transfers I've seen, and the sound is excellent. Not much in the "special features" department. This would have been a great one for director or cast commentary. Not perfect, but this is a rare and good film. It defies categorization, and that's a good thing. It holds up to multiple viewings, and it's damn entertaining! It should appeal to anyone with an open mind, even those who have never smoked pot.
Good Movie
I am a teenage boy and my friends and I like our drug movies, so if you are like me you will like this one. It has a great cast and plot and centers around drugs and lives of the people it touches. The main reason I liked this movie was because Ryan Phillipe is in it. They showed his behind in a erotic scene with the shows leading lady. He has done this in just about every movie he has ever been in. He has a great face, voice, body, and abs.
