I generally like Drew Barrymore. In this film, she plays a sweet but frumpy unwed fast food worker. Her performance is as good as usual.Luke Wilson is handsome and likable enough but it is not at all believable that his character would suddenly fall in love with the poor pregnant girl who works at the local Burger-Matic - especially given all the circumstances of the plot. It just isn't plausible.The basic problem with this movie is the story. It's a story not worth telling because we learn nothing from it. The whole premise is very unlikely. The film is pointless with at least three dark, twisted and very unsympathetic characters."Home Fries" is no better than a student film project with a much bigger budget and access to a military helicopter.When it's over, you're likely to ask yourself as I did - Why did I waste 1 1/2 hours watching this lousy movie?

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.

SPOILERS: I do have a fondness for Barrymore movies and liked her tremendously in this one. Homefries is a very strange movie overall. It starts out one way and then goes another. It's story is somewhat disjointed and although it is very interesting in the beginning, it sort of loses steam early on. What you think it is going to be about is not what it actually is.I enjoyed Drew Barrymore in this role tremendously though even if I really didn't like the overall movie to much. The movie started one way and went off in a total different direction. The plot was all over the place and it is at times dull, others a bit obnoxious. Barrymore however keeps you watching, she is very good in this as Sally. Even if though overall movie was a bit to disjointed for me, Barrymore lends it a bit of a sparkle.I liked the southern atmosphere as well. The direction was good and the movie nicely photographed at any rate. Basically Homefries is neither really good nor really bad, it's main asset is Barrymore. My vote is 5 of 10 .

This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Barrymore lays yet another egg. Why doesn't she just quit already?It's a good movie if you're bored watching grass grow.Mean, I know. But the movie just comes off trashy and boring. Highlighting a life let's hope is found only in the most remote of places anymore.More like brain fried, just check the rating, which is high at 4.9 or whatever it is now.Enough hatefulness, you've been warned. Use your money to rent that C- movie you've been intrigued with.
