Summary: Home Fired!
Review: It is a very good thing that Drew Barrymore did not choose this film to kick start her career. This film was a bomb from the word go. It was overly campy and completely unbelieveable. While the premise of the story is somewhat interesting, the depiction is absolute blah! Do yourself a favor, if you must see this film ... RENT IT FIRST!

Summary: Wow. . . . . . .
Review: It was weird! Half the people acted crazy, especially Luke Wilson's brother and Mama! Besides they both killed their stepfather can you believe it? Drew Barrymore this was not your best at all, but their were still some sad and funny, and of course cute parts, so most people (if you like Drew Barrymore, like me) would like it okay. K!

Summary: Sweet Guffaws
Review: 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.

Summary: Wierd!
Review: My good friend Emily Kate and I thought we were going to see a nice little romantic movie. WELL this was one of the most psycho movies I have ever seen. Almost as crazy as "Very Bad Things." At least it was entertaining... and that Luke guy is hot. Other than that, it was very Homefried.

Review: Not great, but has pretentions. Sick family gets reality based corrections. Please, could the Farley brothers peek at the script.

Summary: Clever story is badly miscast
Review: Oh, the joys of trying to make a good movie! So much can go wrong that it makes farming seem like a safe bet. Home Fries has all the elements needed to make a great entertainment, save one. It's badly miscast. As I watched its comically bizarre story unfold, I found myself recasting it.Being miscast and being a bad actor is not the same thing at all. Everyone in this movie has proved themselves to be good in a number of other projects. They simply are not adapt at the maniacal kind of performing that this movie requires. It's in the same genre as There's Something About Mary, in that a serious subject is not to be taken seriously at all. These are what are often called screwball comedies. Drew Barrymore is Sally, who is mine momhs pregnant She works in a fast food restaurant. Her lover lied to her by claiming was not married. To further complicate matters, Mrs. Lever is lethally jealous. She convinces her son Dorian [Luke Wuksin] and her stepson Angus [Jake Busey] to scare the devil out of the old man by chasing him down a county road in a helicopter. Unfortunately, this gives Dad a fatal heaty attack. The rest if the movie has to do with Angus' trying to save Sally from his totally mad famly. The story is madcap, and the dialog is crisp. Both the photography and the editing are sharp. So we return to the casting problems. Parker Posey would have been ideal as Sally. Kathleen Tuner would have been great as Mrs. Lever. Cast Brad Pitt as the psycho brother, and Keanu Reeves as Angus, and you would have had a gem of a movie.

Summary: B - O - R - I - N - G!
Review: This couldn't decide whether it wanted to be a romantic comedy or a black comedy. No matter which it was trying to be at a particular moment the dialogue is CONSISTENTLY delivered in a oddly-rythmed mono-tone mumble (mainly by Luke Wilson but Drew is also guilty). With no sense of tension, hint of a logical plot, or ultimately even a climax, the movie simply peters to a bland end leaving one thinking "WHAT A WASTE OF MY TIME". I would have given it zero stars if possible.

Summary: Good Movie
Review: This is a really good family movie (sort of.) I enjoyed it, although I thought it would be lighter. I was a great romantic comedy.

Summary: BORING!! But barley okey
Review: This is the dulliest unsatisfiting of all time . Even though Drew Barrymore is in it . It still doesn't steal the show . The middle was okey but the rest was just plain Garbage .
