Movie Reviews of Homegrown

Movie Review: Not another teen drug flick
Summary: 4 Stars

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.

Movie Review: All-star cast, great drama, but it didn't get much screentime
Summary: 4 Stars

Homegrown is a difficult movie to explain or market. Some people seem to want to call it a comedy to help ease the touchy marijuana subject, but it is really a crime drama, not a comedy. It's a comedy only in the way that some unseasoned criminals screw up on the job (as in an Elmore Leonard novel), but that's just relief from what is truly a dramatic film about marijuana farmers. One can't help but wonder how the studio planned to deal with a possible backlash to a film that presents marijuana farmers as good guys, not demons.

The cast is terrific, from Billy Bob Thornton to John Lithgow to Jamie Lee Curtis to Jon Bon Jovi, among many other big names. If you want to see a movie most people didn't get a chance to view on the big screen, check this one out.

Movie Review: Homegrown!

Homegrown is part Dark Comedy/Thriller about a group of guys who sale pot.When they watch their boss get killed,they run off with enough weed to make there pay.Then they decide to good ahead and sale the rest of the pot growing on the land,so they house up with associate Lucy and they all work on selling their product together.A very entertaining movie to say the least,never boring.There is also an excellent cast, and a lot of cameo appearances.Billy Bob Thorton,Hank Azaria,Kelly Lynch,Ted Danson,and Jon Bon Jovi are just a few of the great talents in this movie.Homegrown is not a Cheech and Chong styled drug comedy,this is more of a dark comedy.

Movie Review: PASS THE LEFTY ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE
Summary: 4 Stars

Tragic that " Home grown" was only shown for basically for no more than a few days in very few theaters. Cast includes amazing actors such as Billy Bob Thornton, Hank Azaria, Ryan Phillippe, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ted Danson, and John Lithgow, and Jon Bon Jovi. It was a dark comedy which has suprises of violence combined thrilling moments. Its not a "Pulpfiction" type classic, but certainly worth veiwing. It was very difficult to see all the weed beeing burned at the end. Which was the most devestating part of the movie. Great to have ''Homegrown" on DVD!
