Critics Consensus

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

The movie has its flaws, but they are few and forgivable. Go to Full Review

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

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

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. Go to Full Review

For all its good intentions, Daltry Calhoun is a predictable, derivative film. Go to Full Review

2/4
Contains a couple of lovely scenes that are all but smothered by a shambling mess of self-conscious eccentricity. Go to Full Review

11/08/2018 Decent story just not put together well. See more 12/18/2014 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. See more 08/13/2012 A Knoxville movie shouldn't be so devoid of highlights that less than 3 months alter i can't recall a single thing about it... and this was my second watch. See more 04/10/2012 not mr. knoxville's best film by far, its ok but a little drawn out and not very funny either See more 11/02/2011 very slow and not funny by an means but the ending was decent. im not sure what i was supposed to get out of this movie See more 09/22/2011 Terrible. absolutely terrible.
