User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars A timeless classic.
There aren’t many movies that I can watch more than once, this is one exception. The story, music and performance from the main characters are top notch. When are we going to get a Blu-Ray release or at least an anamorphic wide screen release of this movie? Patiently waiting…

5 Stars Mischa’s Debut
Having seen Mischa Barton in some of her other films and seeing that she is a good actress, I was delighted to find this one as her debut film.

Very intertaining and one that I’ll enjoy watching over and over.

5 Stars Sam Rockwell, an amazing yet under-rated actor!
Most everyone has seen the movie, “The Green Mile” and although they may not remember the actor who played the deranged, yet comical “Wild Bill”, they certainly remember the character. Rockwell is one of the rare actors that can display range. In this movie, he plays a humble, blue-collar ‘country-bumpkin’ who may not be educated or have been graced with the opportunities and status of those he mows lawns for, but nonetheless, has a keen sense of reality and truth about him. He truly brings heart to the movie and Misca Barton doesn’t do too bad of job herself. It’s a movie about friendship, societal differences/conflict, as well as the misunderstanding and prejudice that occurs when the two join. Be prepared to be have your heart-wrenched, yet lifted. A great addition to any collection.

2 Stars snooze
This movie was recommended to me by a friend who said it was “better than American Beauty” but I completely disagree. It was boring and really went nowhere. The characters were uninteresting, beyond the first 30 minutes. I lost all interest in the story and I am a movie buff and particularly a fan of quirky flicks like this *seemed* to be.

5 Stars Lawn Dogs
Prejudice, hypocrisy and rationalising of immoral and violent behaviour are not merely American vices, but common symptoms of all of us living in so-called western civilization.

This film bitingly satirises such behaviour and reminds me that all of us come sadly short of our obligations to our fellow creatures.

Sam Rockwell and Mischa Barton, supported by a strong cast, bring this sad tale to life with great charm
