This alleged comedy-drama-romance movie has Drew Barrymore playing a pregnant Sally Jackson, who falls for Dorian Montier (Luke Wilson), the stepson of the unborn baby's deceased father. Realizing the infidelity, the deceased man's wife, Beatrice Lever (Catherine O'Hara), sends her sons Angus (Jake Bussey) and Dorian to scare him up a bit, indirectly leading to him succumbing to a heart attack. Things get a little out of hand when Sally is mixed in with the chaotic mess.The story is as ridiculous as it sounds and the tasteless plot is only exacerbated by the awful and moronic acting. There is really nothing interesting about this film, except that Barrymore attempts to have a good portrayal of her character. It's OK to pass on this one. Grade D--

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?

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.
