Marijuana growers Jack (Billy Bob Thornton), Carter (Hank Azaria) and Harlan (Ryan Phillippe) are looking at a big payoff for their crop -- until head honcho Malcolm (John Lithgow) is murdered. Wanting a bigger piece of the proverbial pie, the three men decide to keep Malcolm's demise a secret, selling the stash themselves and pocketing all the profits. But, when they get involved with some very dangerous characters in the drug industry, the men start to question the wisdom of their scheme.

David Kronke Los Angeles Times "Homegrown" provides more of a contact high than the real thing. Dec 11, 2018 Full Review Leonard Klady Variety "Homegrown" is serious, funny, sinister, sexy, silly and a lot more. But it isn't particularly good in any one of those departments. Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Glenn Abel The Hollywood Reporter Rated: 3/5 Jun 4, 2004 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jul 12, 2005 Full Review Dragan Antulov rec.arts.movies.reviews Rated: 7/10 Jun 24, 2004 Full Review Brian J.

Eric C From the cast lineup I thought this might be a fairly good movie. It started out wierdly, slowed down then became totally boring. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/25 Full Review Jeff N It's a film that at it's core is a great mystery with great characters. The production value lacks at times and Ryan Philippe is horrible, but overall the good actors and the great script salvages this and makes it worth watching. No movie worth watching is a bad film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/07/24 Full Review Terry S Great ensemble of stars for a rarely viewed comedy film. As a southerner who has known many people dealing weed during the 70s to 90s, what may seem unrealistic & stupid for some, rang true for me. In rural Tennessee at least, there really are people as stupid as Billy Bob Thorton's associates. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/29/23 Full Review shteebo Underrated comedy/drama with great performances from Billy Bob Thornton and Hank Azaria. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/13/23 Full Review Audience Member https://youtu.be/Qrw6xnBSpC8 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member just now saw this movie for the first, watched 15 minutes of it, and it sucks. don't waste your time with this one.
