Critics Consensus

Greener Grass is far from the first comedy to skewer suburbia -- but it might be among the most bizarre and surreally distinctive.

A hypnotic watch, yet hard to pin down.

Rated: 3/5

Austin Chronicle

Greener Grass feels sometimes episodic, but it can be an incredibly entertaining romp through the picket fence yards of an America that only exists in our collective unconscious.

Rated: 3.5/5

Nick Schager

The Daily Beast

The warped and idiosyncratic passions, animosities, materialistic desires, mating habits, and social dynamics of suburbia (where everyone only drives golf carts) are on full display in Greener Grass...

It’s disarmingly sweet, and that makes it scary. The jokes are as innocuous as possible. The terror lies in the straight-faced approach... There’s a Lynchian vibe that permeates the air.

Rated: 4/5

Pop Culture Reviews

This hilarious stroll onto the other side demonstrates the downside of excessive civility and welcomes the extravagantly silly side of district mania. And it’s nothing short of hysterical.

Rated: 4.5/5

I laughed a lot following these shallow, dim-witted rivals amid a sea of suburban superficiality.

There are no words. This was the dumbest movie, the biggest waste of time and the biggest waste of money. Period.

A gratingly painful watch. A sadistically unfunny and pointless 'comedy' with a horribly saturated colour palate. You will wish you had not bothered.

So good, so weird. Better with bong hits.

If you like the surreal absurdly funny, this will be right up your alley. Hints of Monty Python's Meaning of Life sketches i.e. "Can we have your liver then?" and if you liked the Ministry of Silly Walks ;)

This movie is terrible. It makes no sense whatsoever with no coherent plot other than "polite lady does what people want and it ruins her life". It is not funny. I laughed once AT the film not with it. The most bizarre thing about it is, you watch the film where strange things happen and everyone just accepts it as normal, but then you read the amazing reviews and see 4-5 star ratings for it and wonder for a sec if the "plot" of this trash has spilled over into your real life. I genuinely do not see why it gets such good reviews. The aesthetics are pretty I guess.

Utterly bizarre and powerful. The comedic elements surprisingly do not outweigh the sickness of Greener Grass.
