Critics Consensus

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

Stephen Garrett Time Out The movie has its flaws, but they are few and forgivable. Aug 16, 2007 Full Review Jan Stuart 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 Nov 4, 2005 Full Review Lou Lumenick 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 Nov 4, 2005 Full Review Kevin Carr 7M Pictures 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 Feb 19, 2006 Full Review John J. Puccio Movie Metropolis For all its good intentions, Daltry Calhoun is a predictable, derivative film. Rated: 4/10 Feb 5, 2006 Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide Contains a couple of lovely scenes that are all but smothered by a shambling mess of self-conscious eccentricity. Rated: 2/4 Nov 4, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member 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.
