That was an excellent one.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Blistering performances.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Daltry Calhoun is a self-made man, riding to the top of the business world with his hybrid grass seed, and re-inventing himself along the way. But this "new man" will be put to the test when his old girlfriend shows up with his 14 year old daughter at the same time that his business is tottering on the edge of the abyss.In actuality, this film is more about Daltry's daughter, who narrates much of the events in his life. It is an uncomplicated story line with LOTS of strange and complicated twists – just like life. This film is listed as a "Comedy", but would best be described as "Light Drama", marinated with comedy. It covers some very serious and dramatic events, but with a matter-of-fact lightness, rather than a flippant or ponderous or judgmental attitude. Another director would probably have attempted to wring out every drop of emotion out of the story, which would have made the film a cheap, melodramatic over-the-top waste. THIS director did NOT do that.The entire cast gives very solid performances and creates real, lovable, endearing characters, with some truly moving and memorable moments. The biggest problem is that you want more when the movie ends. The script is a joy, leading you down some stereotypical paths then nimbly adding interesting tidbits of information to make you change direction. It has an honest look to it, compliments of filming in a real southern town. Add to this an amazing collection of music with some very new ways to interpret old songs, and you have a solid, well done movie.It is not in the "Oscar" group. But if you are looking for some pleasant entertainment, go get your popcorn, kick back, and enjoy. Add another ½ star if you are a big country-western music fan.

Katrina Holden Bronson, daughter of actor Charles Bronson, wrote and directed this unbearable hick comedy about a good ol' boy sod & seed salesman in Tennessee named Daltry Calhoun, whose TV commercials--with their tag line, "Get high on grass--the legal kind!"--have made him a local icon; unfortunately, strange spurts of growth on Calhoun's own land are causing him business problems, while his ex-girlfriend and their illegitimate teenage daughter, down on their luck, have moved themselves into the main house. Sorry film is just a bushel of half-baked, half-finished comic scenes, leaving some good actors stranded and top production values wasted. Quentin Tarantino served as co-executive producer, perhaps without getting a good look at Bronson's tatty script, which is rife with Sophie Traub's 'wise' narration in an attempt to plug up the holes. Bronson has a good ear for soundtrack selections, and Juliette Lewis tries to liven things up as a store clerk with the hots for Johnny Knoxville's Daltry, but end results are forced and fatuous. NO STARS from ****

Johnny Knoxville gets slammed for his acting, and it would be fair to say he isn't the best actor in the world, nor is he ever likely to be - this coming from someone who is a massive fan of his. But this film proves, certainly more than the 'actually better than it should be' Dukes of Hazzard that he can actually act.This movie didn't do much for me on the first viewing - Which doesn't sound like much of a recommendation - but I would urge people to give it a chance. I found with each subsequent viewing, it just gets better and better. Everyone is the cast, from Knoxville to the supporting cast members, plays their parts brilliantly and makes their characters believable. For me, Knoxville really shines when in his scenes with Sophie Traub who plays June. There is a very endearing awkwardness to his character and he is very likable in this role. The other actors - especially the aforementioned Traub and the criminally underrated Juliette Lewis help to round out a solid cast. I would say that there do seem to be rather too many plot threads going on at one time, and perhaps the film would benefit from a few of them being trimmed and the film just concentrating on Daltry and June's relationship, but other than that, this film is actually well worth your time and effort to watch.This isn't the best film in the world, nor is it ever likely to become so, but if you just want to see a sweet, well acted 'Sunday afternoon' type movie then give it a chance. Not every film has to be 'The Godfather', not every film has to change your life or make a difference. Sometimes all you want is to be entertained, and this film certainly does that.

Not much going on with this movie. The movie lacks substance, direction and people that can act. There were many directions this movie could have gone but it didn't take on any real direction at all. I believe it could have been a real "feel good" type of flick but after it was over I didn't feel anything. Without Sophie Traub's performance as June, this movie wouldn't rank more than a 1 but because she did bring some character to it I gave it a 3. Knoxville's performance was disappointing especially after recently viewing him in Ringer.
