Critics Consensus

Watching grass grow would likely be more entertaining than this dull, slight feature about a sod salesman.

Time Out

The movie has its flaws, but they are few and forgivable.

Newsday

Southern whimsy, when handled delicately, can produce a precious jewel a la Junebug. In less skillful hands, it can be merely precious.

Rated: 2.5/4

New York Post

Knoxville tries hard and exudes a certain likability, but can't really handle big dramatic moments at this point in his career.

Rated: 2/4

It'd be nice if Tarantino would go back to making his own films (which are usually pretty doggoned good) rather than helping out young filmmakers to produce garbage.

Rated: 1.5/5

For all its good intentions, Daltry Calhoun is a predictable, derivative film.

Rated: 4/10

TV Guide

Contains a couple of lovely scenes that are all but smothered by a shambling mess of self-conscious eccentricity.

Daltry Calhoun is the story of a family from the perspective of a 14 year old girl. This movie is quite boring, and I struggled to get through this fil,. The narration was boring, I did not care about any of the characters, and just waited for this point of this movie to come about. It never did.
