Summary	Pop-punk is aging
Content	I used to really like Homegrown. They did a cover of Aqua's "Barbie Girl" back when they were on tour with Blink 182 in the late nineties. That was fun. It was great to see people of all different cultures come together and form a punk band. I'm not sure what they're up to, but I wasn't really into anything after Act Your Age which was released in 1998.

Summary	PASS THE LEFTY ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE
Content	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!

Summary	Amazing Cast-Mediocre Movie
Content	Homegrown was a bit of a disappointment, considering the makeup of the cast: Billy Bob Thornton, Hank Azaria, Jon Bon Jovi, Ted Danson and Jamie Lee Curtis (!!!) among others; though by no means is it a terrible movie. The acting is good, the humor is very good, and there's the originality of the script/story in that the ones growing the drugs are the "heroes/good guys." So it's an interesting plot, a great setting and a wonderful cast, and yet it fails to take off. The potential for a great movie was definitely there. In a nutshell, it's an ok movie, and that's about it; it lacks that extra something to put it over the top. No masterpiece here...

Summary	Victim of the times.
Content	It's a shame that "Homegrown" was but a brief blip on the box office radar screen, but it hardly ranks as the greatest injustice to befall a Hollywood product. This movie isn't a masterpiece. Still, it is thrilling, intriguing, funny, and provides a fascinating look at the subculture of marijuana growers. The performances seem spot-on, and the movie's creators have admirably avoided some common pitfalls: the growers aren't presented in a "Robin Hood" light, but neither are they demonized; the violence in the film is neither overstated nor glossed-over; and the ending, thankfully, isn't stock Hollywood. The film has a lot of creative integrity going for it. I do agree with another reviewer: this look into the growers' world whets the appetite for a look at the history of marijuana growing, and it would have been nice if the creative team behind the DVD had included such, even if only as a bonus feature.

Summary	Homegrown!
Content	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.
