Movie Reviews of Homegrown
Movie Review: Great movie - unlike any other film about marijuana
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my all-time favorite movies. Great cast, great plot, great screenplay. Very funny, but not in the way other movies about marijuana are. Most "pot movies" are slapstick, but Home Grown is a true drama, with tasteful comedy thrown in for fun. I wish more film makers would make movies about subjects like marijuana, skateboarding, and snowboarding without having them resemble Dumb and Dumber.
Summary of Homegrown
Five million dollars worth of californias most controversial cash crop is up for grabs when the plantation owner is mysteriously murdered. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 09/20/2005 Starring: Billy Bob Thornton Jon Bon Jovi Run time: 102 minutes Rating: R Director: Stephen GyllenhaalReleased to only a handful of theaters in the spring and summer of 1998, Homegrown was neglected by nervous distributors who couldn't figure out how to market a movie about marijuana farmers. As a result, hardly anyone saw this cleverly plotted comedy-thriller about three experienced pot growers in northern California (Billy Bob Thornton, Hank Azaria, and Ryan Phillippe) who guard their valuable outdoor crop against raids by the cops and unwanted competitors. When their mysterious leader is apparently murdered, Thornton assumes the dead man's identity to arrange one last, lucrative bumper-crop deal, but pulling off the scam proves to be a lot harder than they'd anticipated. While the three potheads seek refuge with an old colleague (Kelly Lynch) and routinely sample their goods (which explains the film's theatrical obscurity), Homegrown turns into a taut thriller fueled by equal parts comedy and paranoid tension--an update of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre with marijuana instead of gold! Featuring cameo roles for Jamie Lee Curtis, Ted Danson, and John Lithgow, this entertaining film fell victim to the misguided fear that it promotes drugs and illegal activity. If anything, it promotes interesting characters, catchy dialogue, and a welcomed alternative to mainstream Hollywood comedies. --Jeff Shannon
