Home Fries | Year: 1998 Classification: Comedy Directed: - Dean Parisot Actors/Actresses: - Catherine O Hara - Drew Barrymore - Luke Wilson Weird, but funny comedy-drama. "Home Fries" is basically a dysfunctional comedy-drama about two brothers out to kill their unfaithful father's mistress, a fast-food cashier, because their vengeful mother (Catherine 'O Hara) asked them to. The mistress, Sally, who is nearly 9 months pregnant (Drew Barrymore), unwittingly charms one of the brothers (Luke Wilson) and falls in love with Sally. Then, things go downhill. The other brother, Angus, figures out Sally is their dad's mistress, and Wilson wants to protect her, because Angus wants to kill Sally. Despite the dysfunctional plot, "Home Fries" is affectionately charming, witty, and not exactly seamlessly fits comedy, romance, a little mystery, and drama. All in all, "Home Fries" is good family fun, despite its PG-13 rating. Rated PG-13 for thematic elements, language, and brief violence. Home Fries DVD REVIEW - GRADE: C Home Fries is your average movie. Drew Barrymore does a great job in the movie but what about the DVD? The colors were nice but this movie is simply average. This movie is primarily a dialogue DVD if you were wondering about sound. The DVD is less-than average because there wasn't many extras in it. I don't include interactive menus, trailers, scene access and different language as an extra. All DVD's should have this. So, maybe a featurette or some sort of trailers for other movies...something cool. Anyway, the movie is a fun average movie. Sweet Guffaws Love it. Could see it again and again. Sweet romance, truly delirious black comedy, featuring the best and the worst of human aspirations. Two grown sons still trying to please their crazy-making, manipulative mother...chivalry and heroics in a burger joint...and real suspense amidst extreme characters and the loveliest subtleties in humor...Luke Wilson can do no wrong. So funny. Buy Home Fries at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.com Jamster - the latest ringtones for your phone!
