Home Fries

Pros: One scene
Cons: The rest of the scenes

There are certain entertainers that I absolutely adore. They become almost like a part of the family. Near the top of that list of "relatives" for me would be Drew Barrymore. She always seems to touch a place in my heart, all the way back to ...

Pros: Cute baby at the end
Cons: The movie was made

Yes, this movie has Drew Barrymore, but that doesn't even help. Ok so the movie starts out on a good note and the movie takes a little turn, but after about 15 minutes, you start to realize what you are up against. The only reason I finished watching...

Pros: originality, major characters, cast, story
Cons: supporting characters, roaming helicopters

Surprise, surprise. I had expected "Home
Fries" to be a mediocre teen date movie,
starring Drew Barrymore in a fast food
uniform, serving up the smiles. Instead,
"Home Fries" is an almost good black comedy,
...

Pros: Better than a nail and the head
Cons: You would probably get some good pain killers w/ that nail in the head

Where Am I? That's the question I asked myself 15-20 minutes. Here I thought I had rented a cute little romantic comedy. Something to make me giggle and feel good but instead I get a black comedy about murder.

Color me clueless I had no...

Pros: cute, fun
Cons: badly directed and written

Warner Brothers film "Home Fries" staring Drew Barrymore and Luke Wilson is a semi decent movie with an edge of comedy and a hint of romance. This movie is about a family who is, well, psycho. About an adulterer father, psycho mother who wants...

Pros: It is in color
Cons: boring, no plot

I am a HUGE Drew Barrymore fan so of coarse I HAD to see this movie. Thank God I waited for it to come out on video. This is one of the worst movies Drew has done. I can not analyze the plot because there was none. In fact, this movie was so bad, I...

Pros: great acting, unique story
Cons: none

I don't know why so many people don't like Home Fries, it's a great movie. Sure, the trailer even says it's a sweet romantic comedy, and that's not all it is. Well, to tell ya' the truth, it's kind-of like "Godfather" meets "You've...

Pros: Original and fresh.
Cons: Some foul language.

If you saw the trailer for this film you would think as I did that it is just another sweet little romantic comedy.You would be right and wrong.It is a sweet little romantic comedy wrapped around a murder and the cover-up that follows.

I...

Pros: Drew Barrymore is astonishing as ever. Cool military helicopter!
Cons: Forced story line. Stupid characters.

The story line wavers between hokey (which I can embrace under the right circumstances), ingenious (as in so unreal it HAS to be the product of someone's truly demente...er, vivid imagination), and unremittingly predictable.

Another ending...

Pros: Acting, plot, score, cinematography
Cons: none

Though not your average comedy, romance, or even screwball drama, Home Fries is one of the best and most original movies of 1999.
I was originally attracted by Drew Barrymore, who was absolutely fantastic in "Forever After" and "Boys...

Pros: drew barrymore, but thats the only one
Cons: it was so stupid, the plot was too unrealistic, and drew's hair was not looking too stylish

okay when i saw the previews for this movie, i immediately thought that i would enjoy it. i am a true drew barrymore fan, and i have loved most of her flicks. but this one, well this one is a whole 'nother story....
first of all, the previews are...

Pros: I expected the worst and I ended up rolling on the floor laughing.
Cons: If you want cons, read someone else's review. Plenty of people hate this movie.

Originally this was a rental to bridge the gap between my friend's tastes and my own. She's a Drew Barrymore fan and I love Luke Wilson. It was a night for a fluffy movie, and no one wanted to think about anything. The sunny cover had us all believing we...

Pros: Charming love story, as well as a devilish satire.
Cons: Don't take this film at face value.

HOME FRIES: Dark comedy. First time director Dean Parisot hits a home run with his charming and devilish satire, “Home Fries”, a film about budding love, illicit sex, and the strange ties that bind a mother to her sons.

In the center of...

Pros: cute movie
Cons: not for those who like movies with meaning

If you are looking for a cute, mindless comedy to watch on a rainy or cold day, this is the one. Although the plot is a bit misleading, it remains an enjoyable little movie.

Drew Barrymore stars as a pregnant woman whose baby has been...

Pros: Good lead acting, nice sub-plot
Cons: Actual plot is different from the billing of the movie

The trailers did no justice for this film, but then again, the plot didn't help much either.

Once I was able to get past the misleading advertising, I could settle into movie and take it for what it was, although I'm not sure how to classify...
