A strange mix of tragedy and comedy that doesn't quite come off.
Now I appreciate well-done, unusual movies.Fargo, A Simple Plan, Chasing Amy, Jackie O, Cruel Intentions, those sorts of quirky movies.But Homegrown came over as a bit of a mess.Someone dies unexpectedly, and the foxes try to run the henhouse.But the whole movie has too much yelling, profanity, and silly situations that the overall effect is less than satisfying.I kept asking myself how these guys could be so incompetent. That, of course, is the point of the movie.But its timing and delivery just don't add up. What's the message here, anyway? Maybe it has none. I give it a "5" of 10. See it if you're looking for something different, but don't be surprised if you come away disappointed.score /10
