Excellent, Without a doubt!!

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Home Fries (1998): Dir: Dean Parisot / Cast: Drew Barrymore, Luke Wilson, Jake Busey, Catherine O'Hara, Shelley Duvall: Intriguing satire that exaggerates in its conclusion. Title regards Drew Barrymore's job at a fast food restaurant while symbolizing her pregnancy or the two sons corrupted to kill her. The baby's father is married so his wife's two sons scare him into a heart attack. They suspect that Barrymore may be a witness so one of them goes undercover and of course, fall in love. The restaurant provides an interesting location plus there are numerous plot twists throughout. Directed by Dean Parisot as a dark comedy that works more on its innovation than humour. Sympathetic performance by Barrymore who is caught as a potential single mother unknowing that she is a target. Luke Wilson and Jake Busey play the sons of a menacing woman played by Catherine O'Hara. Wilson is drawn to Barrymore and resorts to protecting her while Busey becomes psychotic and desperate. The result of this is violent and stays from any sort of humour. O'Hara steals her moments as their crazed mother out to oversee the fine touches of a murder. Shelley Duvall is also featured in a small supporting role to remind us of her early glory days of greatness. Very different comedy that satires the dysfunctional family within a screenplay that serves up more than fast food. Score: 8 / 10

I loved this movie...It was so hilarious but border lined on the absolutely absurd...but it REALLY kept me laughing after the initial beginning of the movie, which I found to be a bit upsetting...Luke Perry & Drew Barrymore are absolutely superb together...Daryl Mitchell was superb & authentic in his part as the over- achieving, forever grilling, instructor of burger making...hamburger person...the funeral scene was bordering on the totally ridiculous...overall this movie just kept me in complete 'stitches'...Catherine O'Hara really comes through as the comedic super-giant that she truly is...the background music was well placed & well selected...overall, an extremely entertaining movie...that's what movie making should be all about after all...

Only one word can describe how I feel after watching this movie.That word is awful."Home Fries" isn't comedy because in real comedy people smile.It was nothing funny in this one,it only gives you reasons to cry.I'm sad to see Drew Barrymore in this role.She is so annoying like her partner(Luke Wilson).Only positive thing is acting of Catherine O'Hara but that is even not enough to give this movie grade 2.Plot of this movie doesn't make any sense.Why would two sons listen to their crazy mother and chase their stepfather in a helicopter?After that chase poor man dies of heart and that is not enough because then they must kill a girl who is carrying that poor man's child,in order to please their mother.But wait,one of those brothers starts to like pregnant girl.How realistic is that?Judge it yourself.WARNING:Don't watch this movie unless someone is pointing gun in your head.

This movie with Luke Wilson (brother of Owen Wilson) & Drew Barrymore is very enjoyable. While it was promoted as a Romantic Comedy, it should be noted that this has a darker comedic theme with some action sequences. If you were looking for a Meg Ryan/Tom Hanks movie, reset your expectations and rent this one anyways. It is a very enjoyable, fun movie.
